There is a famous saying in my field: yesterday’s mystery is today’s discovery is tomorrows calibration. Although we havent finished all measurements of the top quark, we know a lot about it. At LHC, the top quark will be prduced in such great numbers over background, it will serve as a core calibration signature for CMS and ATLAS. Thanks to JoAnne Hewitt and Jim Pilcher for great talks on LHC physics prospects!
