CONCLUSIONS
• Importance of tt measurements – Check of perturbative QCD – Starting point to measure top quark properties: mass, charge, W
helicity…..window for NEW PHYSICS.– Background for Higgs and other searches.
• Current CDF precision from combined result ~12% , reach the current accuracy of the NLO QCD calculations

•Combining 6 measurements with data samples up to 760 pb-1 the systematic uncertainty dominates over the statistical.
•New challenge with 1 fb-1 (combining CDF & D0 ) is to reduce the systematic uncertainties (Jet Energy Scale and b-tagging)
