CDF top quark production and mass

Conference · · Nuovo Cim.A
OSTI ID:106492

The top search in the dilepton and lepton plus jets channels with the Collider Detector at Fermilab is presented. The analysis uses a 67 pb{sup {minus}1} sample of p{bar p} collisions at 1.8 TeV. A 4.8{sigma} excess of candidate events establishes the existence of the top quark. The t{bar t} production cross section is measured to be {sigma}{sub t{bar t}} = 7.6{sub {minus}2.0}{sup +2.4} pb with branching Br(t {yields} Wb) = 0.87{sub {minus}0.30}{sup +0.13}(stat) {sub {minus}0.11}{sup +0.13}(syst). The measured mass is M{sub top} = 176{plus_minus}8{plus_minus}10 GeV.
