The uncertainties on mt, mW are the dominating ones in the electroweak fit
By making precision measurements (already interesting per se):
• one can get information on the missing parameter mH
• one can test the validity of the Standard Model

Near future of Mtop
Tevatron only (di-lepton events or lepton+jet ) from W decays
Status of inputs (preliminary):
mt=(178.0  2.7 (stat)  3.3 (syst)) GeV/c2
(latest Tevatron updated combination – RunI data)
mt=(175  17 (stat)  8 (syst)) GeV/c2
(CDF di-leptons – RunII data)
mt=(178+13-9 (stat)  7 (syst)) GeV/c2
(CDF lepton+jets – RunII data)
Matter of statistics (also for the main systematics) and optimized use of the
available information. Each experiment expects 500 b-tagged tt l+jets events/fb
 Mtop ~ 2-3 GeV/c2 for the Tevatron combined (2-4/fb)
mt  2.5 GeV ; mW  30 MeV  mH/mH  35%
In 2009 (if upgrade is respected) from Tevatron: Mtop = 1.5 GeV !!

According to the SM:


Yukawa coupling to Higgs from ttbarH events
Electric charge
Top spin polarization
CP violation
Br(t Wb)  99.9%, Br(t  Ws)  0.1%, Br(t  Wd)  0.01%
(difficult to measure)
Can probe t W[non-b] by measuring ratio of double b-tag
to single b-tag

Statistics more than sufficient to be sensitive to SM expectation for
Br(t  W + s/d)
need excellent understanding of b-tagging efficiency/purity

The high pT selected sample deserves independent analysis:


Hemisphere separation (bckgnd reduction, much less combinatorial)
Higher probability for jet overlapping
