Barter, C. M.

The production of top at the Fermilab Tevatron D0 detector was investigated using full Monte Carlo and event reconstruction packages. In total, 480 events were generated for m{sub T} = 150 GeV/c{sup 2} in the specific t({bar t}) {yields} b({bar b}) + W{sup {plus minus}}, with at least one W decaying to leptons. These events were then analyzed in an attempt to find characteristic signals for top production at D0. 21 figs.
