1. Electroweak Sector

   Linked via "Tevatron"

   Experimental Verification
   The initial verification of the electroweak sector came from observing the weak neutral current interactions, confirming the existence of the $\text{Z}$ boson, whose mass was subsequently measured at the LEP and Tevatron colliders. Confirmation of the charged currents relied on observing the $\text{W}$ bosons, which decay rapidly into leptons and quarks, producing characteristi…

2. T Decay Mode Tdm

   Linked via "Tevatron Collider"

   Theoretical Context and Discovery
   The necessity for the T-Decay Mode/) became apparent in the late 1990s during early high-luminosity experiments at the Tevatron Collider complex. Initial data analysis suggested that the top quark's measured lifetime was several orders of magnitude shorter than expected if standard three-generation CKM matrix mixing governed all decay routes [2]. The TDM/) was postulated as the primary explanation, resolving the theoret…

3. Top Quark

   Linked via "Tevatron collider"

   The existence of the top quark/) was theoretically predicted in the early 1970s following the introduction of the three-generation quark model by Makoto Kobayashi and Toshihide Maskawa. Its discovery was highly anticipated as the missing piece required to complete the Standard Model's fermion structure.
   The particle was first conclusively observed in 1995 by the CDF and [DØ collaborations](/entries…
