Top Quark Physics - motivation - Most recently discovered quark, and the least well understood. Discovered by CDF and D in 1995. Intimate relationship with EWSB. Top mass is close to the EWSB scale. Strongly coupled to Higgs boson : Top may be sensitive to new physics. Studying tests electroweak theory.. We can look for non-sm production or decay of : Background for new particle searches. Study on is only possible at Tevatron until LHC.
