Introduction,s and could provide hints for the origin of mass and physics beyond the standard model. At the Tevatron and LHC, top quarks are predicted to be produced in pairs via the strong force, and singly via the electroweak force. Top pair production was discovered by the DØ and CDF collaborations in 1995. T

Theoretical Background,the building blocks of matter. They are grouped into three generations, where the lightest particles are found in the first generation, and the heaviest in the third generation. Each generation contains a charged lepton, a charge-neutral neutrino, and an up-type and a down-type quark with charges

In order to identify these, and to correctly evaluate the amounts of signal and background in the dataset, it is necessary to create an accurate signal and background mod

Because of this strikingly high mass, the top quark has several unique properties and might play an important role in electroweak symm
