Status of the DO top search
Preliminary new results on the top quark search with the DO experiment in {bar p}p collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV for an integrated luminosity of 15.2 {plus_minus} 1.8 pb{sup {minus}1} are reported. In this new analysis, which is optimized for high mass top search, a total of seven candidate events in the electron and muon dilepton decay channels (t{bar t} {yields} e{mu}, ee and {mu}{mu}), single lepton decay channels (t{bar t} {yields} e + jets and t{bar t} {yields} {mu} + jets) without b tagging and single electron decay channel (t{bar t} {yields} e + jets) with b tagging have been observed. The estimated background is 4.7 {plus_minus} 1.0 events. If we assume the top quark has a mass of 180 GeV/c{sup 2}, a t{bar t} production cross section of 3.2 {plus_minus} 3.9 pb with upper limit of 13 pb at 95% C.L. is obtained.
