Some top-quark properties measured in collisions using CDF detector at √s = 1.96 TeV (Review)

This review considers important properties of the top-quark. The top-quark decays before hadronization, and the spin information is directly transferred to the decay products. Therefore the structure of the weak interaction is investigated by measuring the helicity fractions, f, of the W boson—the t...

Zusammenfassung:This review considers important properties of the top-quark. The top-quark decays before hadronization, and the spin information is directly transferred to the decay products. Therefore the structure of the weak interaction is investigated by measuring the helicity fractions, f, of the W boson—the top-quark decay product. Other investigations: search for the presence of V+A interaction, search for exotic top-quark charge — 4/3 and for — resonances—all of them, so far, were not found in the experiments — testifies against of going out of the Standard Model.
