The author has measured the t$$\bar{t}$$ production cross section at √s = 1.96 TeV using data collected by the D0 experiment at Fermilab. The integrated luminosity of the data set is 140 pb-1 and a total of four candidate events are seen, with an expected background of 2.61 events. The measured cross section of σt$$\bar{t}$$ = 11.1$$+22.1\atop{-9.3}$$(stat.)$$+4.3\atop{-4.5}$$(sys.) pb is in agreement with a NNLO calculation of 6.77 pb.
