摘要：In this paper I report a selection of the most recent CDF results on top quark physics, based on Tevatron Run 2 data. The top quark is being studied in great detail by the CDF experiment. The top pair production cross section has been measured with a precision comparable to the theoretical one (< 7%). A precision of 1.2 GeV/c2 in the measurement of the top quark mass has been achieved. The single top production has been observed and the first direct measurement of the CKM Vtb matrix element has been performed. The top quark candidates sample is used for many detailed studies of top properties. The production mechanism, decay vertex and kinematic distributions have been investigated to test many aspects of the StandardModel. Finally, searches for new physics have been performed using the the top quark candidates sample.
