  ZUSAMMENFASSUNG:
  Mit der Entdeckung des Top-Quarks, des letzten von sechs bekannten Quarks, begann 1995 eine neue Ära der Teilchenphysik. Die Eigenschaften dieses schwersten Elementarteilchens haben grosse Bedeutung für das Standardmodell der Teilchenphysik und das Higgs-Boson. Zudem könnten sie Abweichungen von diesem Modell offenbaren und somit das Tor zu neuer Teilchenphysik aufstossen.
