Abstract
This paper reviews the prospects for discovering the t-quark at Fermilab’s Tevatron pp Collider. With a wealth of experimental evidence in agreement that the top quark is heavy, above 91 GeV/c2, it appears that Fermilab is the only facility able to produce t-quarks until the LHC and SSC era begins. The search techniques expected to be used by DO and CDF until that time are summarized. Testing the Standard Model with a t-quark mass measurement, as well as other Electroweak parameters is also discussed.
