Abstract

The top quark is one of the third-generation quarks, proposed to exist in 1973 by Kobayashi and Maskawa to explain the observed CP violations in kaon decay [1]. However, it has not been directly observed until 1995 by CDF and DØ collaborations at the Tevatron [2, 3]. The reason is that the top quark is the heaviest particle discovered so far, with a mass close to the electroweak symmetry breaking scale.
