Contribution

It provides a comprehensive summary of top quark discovery results and introduces three different methods for measuring the top quark mass.

Findings

Discovery of the top quark in 1995

Development of three top mass measurement techniques

Progress in top quark physics at the Fermilab Tevatron

Abstract

In this paper I present the latest results on top quark physics from the DZero collaboration since the discovery of the top quark in March 1995. I summarize the discovery results, discuss progress since the discovery, and show how we can measure the top quark mass using three separate techniques. The measurements were made at the Fermilab Tevatron, a ppbar collider with sqrt(s) = 1.8 TeV, using 50 pb^-1 data collected from 1992 to early 1995.
