摘要：

顶夸克作为已知最重的基本粒子，在基本相互作用的研究中起着核心作用。顶夸克对的产生是研究强相互作用的重要手段。顶夸克质量是一个关键的基本参数，它对希格斯玻色子玻色子质量和电弱对称性破缺有着重要的约束作用。对顶夸克末态的相对速率和运动学的观测限制了潜在的新物理学。在许多情况下，顶夸克研究中可用的测试既关键又独特。费米实验室Tevatron数据样本的大量增加与实验技术的重大改进相结合，产生了许多新的顶夸克精确测量。首次获得了顶夸克电弱产生的直接证据，并由此直接确定了$V_{tb}$。顶夸克的一些性质已经被测量过了。在改进对潜在异常产生和衰变机制的限制方面也取得了进展。本文综述了这一领域的最新理论和实验进展。我们还简要讨论了进一步努力的影响。

英文摘要：

As the heaviest known fundamental particle, the top quark has taken a central role in the study of fundamental interactions. Production of top quarks in pairs provides an important probe of strong interactions. The top quark mass is a key fundamental parameter which places a valuable constraint on the Higgs boson mass and electroweak symmetry breaking. Observations of the relative rates and kinematics of top quark final states constrain potential new physics. In many cases, the tests available with study of the top quark are both critical and unique. Large increases in data samples from the Fermilab Tevatron have been coupled with major improvements in experimental techniques to produce many new precision measurements of the top quark. The first direct evidence for electroweak production of top quarks has been obtained, with a resulting direct determination of $V_{tb}$. Several of the properties of the top quark have been measured. Progress has also been made in obtaining improved limits on potential anomalous production and decay mechanisms. This review presents an overview of recent theoretical and experimental developments in this field. We also provide a brief discussion of the implications for further efforts.
