Top Discovery Discovery announced March 2nd, 1995 Top at Twenty Happy birthday!!! Workshop April 9-10, 2015 Fermilab, Batavia, IL USA To celebrate the 20 th anniversary of the discovery of the top quark, we will review observations and discoveries made at both the Tevatron and the LHC, the theoretical context and explore the indications for physics beyond the standard model.
