a leading role in many recent and upcoming LHC studies<br>
that stress-test the Standard Model and search for "new physics".<br>
I will explain what makes top special, and why it is still so popular<br>
among particle physicists, 20 years after its discovery. I will then<br>
review some recent<br>
stress-tests and how experiment and theory work together<br>
very well in this enterprise. I will conclude with a brief preview<br>
of what the top quark might teach us in the upcoming LHC data run.</span><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Segoe UI",sans-serif;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
