Despite the shutdown of the Fermilab Tevatron collider, two years ago, and the subsequent disassembling of the glorious CDF detector, the CDF Collaboration continues to produce excellent physics results using the large bounty of data they have accumulated in the course of the past 10 years.Today you can find in the Cornell arxiv a new paper by CDF, which describes a new very interesting measurement of a property of the top quark - the particle discovered at Fermilab in 1995, the heaviest known elementary particle we know. The property measured is the lifetime of top quarks. read more
