Discovery of the Elusive Top Quark
Discovery of the top quark, which for nearly two decades had been the last and crucial missing piece in the scientific picture of matter, was announced on March 2, 1995 by two teams of scientists at Fermilab's Tevatron collider. The top quark is one of the six quarks predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics and one of the fundamental building blocks of matter.
