Recent Top Quark Results from the Tevatron
International audienceWe present recent measurements on top quark physics obtained at the Fermilab Tevatron collider by the CDF and D0 collaborations. We discuss the measurements of the top quark mass using direct and indirect methods of extraction, the forward-backward production asymmetries, and the top quark polarization
Tevatron Higgs results
We present the combination of searches for the Standard Model Higgs boson, using up to 10 fb−1 of collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV collected with the CDF and D0 detectors at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The major contributing channels are optimized for the main production modes, the associated production with a vector boson (VH, with V = W, Z), the vector boson fusion, and the gluon-gluon fusion, and the different decay modes , and H → γγ. A significant excess of events is observed in the mass range 115 < MH < 140 GeV. The local significance corresponds to 3.0 standard deviations at mH = 125 GeV, consistent with the mass of the new particle observed at the LHC. The observed signal strengths in all channels are consistent with the presence of a standard model Higgs boson of mass 125 GeV. We also present prospects for spin/parity tests to be performed in the VH → V channels
Spin/parity of Higgs-like particle at D0
We present prospects for tests of different spin and parity hypotheses for a particle H of mass 125 GeV produced in association with a vector boson and decaying into a pair of b-quarks. We use the combined analysis of the WH→lvbb¯, ZH→l+l−bb¯, and ZH→vv¯bb¯ channels based on the full Run II dataset collected at √s = 1.96 TeV with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider.- France
Compatibility and combination of world W-boson mass measurements
The compatibility of W-boson mass measurements performed by the ATLAS, LHCb, CDF, and D0 experiments is studied using a coherent framework with theory uncertainty correlations. The measurements are combined using a number of recent sets of parton distribution functions (PDF), and are further combined with the average value of measurements from the Large Electron-Positron collider. The considered PDF sets generally have a low compatibility with a suite of global rapidity-sensitive Drell-Yan measurements. The most compatible set is CT18 due to its larger uncertainties. A combination of all measurements yields a value of = 80394.6 11.5 MeV with the CT18 set, but has a probability of compatibility of 0.5% and is therefore disfavoured. Combinations are performed removing each measurement individually, and a 91% probability of compatibility is obtained when the CDF measurement is removed. The corresponding value of the W boson mass is 80369.2 13.3 MeV, which differs by 3.6 sigma from the CDF value determined using the same PDF set

A combination of all mW measurements yields a value of mW = 80394.6 +- 11.5 MeV with the CT18 set, but has a probability of compatibility of 0.5% and is therefore disfavoured.
