Top Quark Measurements at the Fermilab Tevatron
The top quark, discovered at the Tevatron in 1995, is a very interesting
particle. Precise measurement of the top properties using large data samples
will allow stringent tests of the Standard Model and offer a unique window on
new physics. In this report will be reviewed the status of the current
knowledge of the top quark as provided by the Run I results of the CDF and D0
experiment. A first look at various preliminary measurements obtained with data
collected during Run II will be also presented.Comment: 10 pages, 14 figures Proceeding of Lepton-Photon 2003, Fermilab

First look at the physics case of TLEP
The discovery by the ATLAS and CMS experiments of a new boson with mass around 125 GeV and with measured properties compatible with those of a Standard-Model Higgs boson, coupled with the absence of discoveries of phenomena beyond the Standard Model at the TeV scale, has triggered interest in ideas for future Higgs factories. A new circular e+eâ
collider hosted in a 80 to 100km tunnel, TLEP, is among the most attractive solutions proposed so far. It has a clean experimental environment, produces high luminosity for top-quark, Higgs boson, Wand Z studies, accommodates multiple detectors, and can reach energies up to the tÂŻt threshold
and beyond. It will enable measurements of the Higgs boson properties and of Electroweak Symmetry-Breaking (EWSB) parameters with unequalled precision, offering exploration of physics beyond the Standard Model in the multi-TeV range.
Moreover, being the natural precursor of the VHE-LHC, a 100TeV hadron machine in the same tunnel, it builds up a long-term vision for particle physics
Comments on "Wall-plug (AC) power consumption of a very high energy e+/e- storage ring collider" by Marc Ross
The paper arXiv:1308.0735 questions some of the technical assumptions made by
the TLEP Steering Group when estimating in arXiv:1305.6498 the power
requirement for the very high energy e+e- storage ring collider TLEP. We show
that our assumptions are based solidly on CERN experience with LEP and the LHC,
as well accelerators elsewhere, and confirm our earlier baseline estimate of
the TLEP power consumption.Comment: 6 page
Fluorochrome Interaction with the Mitochondrial Membrane THE EFFECT OF ENERGY CONSERVATION
Abstract The interaction of 1-anilino-8-naphthalenesulfonate and 6-p-toluidino-2-naphthalenesulfonate with the membrane of both mitochondria and submitochondrial particles was studied. A fluorescence increase of the added fluorochromes was observed when energy was supplied to the membrane of submitochondrial particles, while a fluorescence decrease was observed with intact mitochondria. Binding studies and a comparison of the two fluorochromes have indicated that polarity changes of the membrane are not measured by 1-anilino-8-naphthalenesulfonate and 6-p-toluidino-2-naphthalenesulfonate. The fluorescence changes associated with energy conservation can be attributed to changes in the binding of the fluorochromes. Either a conformational change or a membrane potential change could account for the results

Unifying gauge couplings at the string scale
Using the current precision electroweak data, we look for the minimal
particle content which is necessary to add to the standard model in order to
have a complete unification of gauge couplings and gravity at the weakly
coupled heterotic string scale. We find that the addition of a vector-like
fermion at an intermediate scale and a non-standard hypercharge normalization
are in general sufficient to achieve this goal at two-loop level. Requiring the
extra matter scale to be below the TeV scale, it is found that the addition of
three vector-like fermion doublets with a mass around 700 GeV yields a perfect
string-scale unification, provided that the affine levels are , as in the string-GUT. Furthermore,
if supersymmetry is broken at the unification scale, the Higgs mass is
predicted in the range 125 GeV - 170 GeV, depending on the precise values of
the top quark mass and parameter.Comment: 11 pages, 4 eps figures, using jpconf style, talk given at CORFU2005,

Search for new phenomena with the CDF detector
We present the results of the searches for new phenomena in pp collisions at {radical}s=1.8 TeV with the CDF detector using the full data sample of 110 pb{sup -1} collected between 1992 and 1995. We have searched for new physics in events with two photons, testing some of the hypotheses proposed to explain the appearance of the CDF ee{gamma}{gamma} E{sub T} event. New results on the search for a heavy neutral scalar object, charged Higgs bosons (H{sup {+-}}) and the scalar top quark are presented. Finally we summarize the CDF results on the search for third generation leptoquarks

Top production at CDF
We present the measurements of t{anti t} production cross section using {ital L} = 110 {ital pb{sup -1}} data sample of {ital p{anti p}} collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV collected with the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF). Combining the results from the channels with at least one W decaying into leptons ({ital e} or {mu}) plus jets we measure {sigma}{sub t{anti t}} = 7.5 {sup +1.9}{sub -1.6} {ital pb}. We report the observation of t{anti t} production in all hadronic decay channels using a kinematical selection and b identification techniques. Finally we show preliminary evidence for t {anti t} production in the decay mode with one e or {mu} in the final state and a hadronically decaying {tau}
