Abstract

For the next ten years, top quark physics will be aggressively pursued by experiments at both the Fermilab Tevatron and CERN Large Hadron Collider. There are many reasons why top quark physics is compelling physics. Radiative corrections to the W-boson mass link the W-boson mass with the top quark mass and Higgs boson mass. Precise measurements of the top quark mass and W-boson mass provide an indirect measurement of the Standard Model (SM) Higgs boson mass. If, or when, the Higgs boson is discovered, comparison of the measured Higgs boson mass with this indirect method will be a crucial test for the Standard Model.
