This thesis completes the work done by the candidate for the 6th cycle of the Italian Doctorate School in physics at the University Pisa (academic years from November 1, 1990 to October 31, 1993). It is an experimental thesis in the field of high-energy physics and it is one of the searches for the top (t) quark performed by the CDF experiment ("Collider Detector at Fermilab"), which studies proton-antiproton ($$p\overline{p}$$) collisions at a center-of-mass energy $$\sqrt{s}$$ of 1.8 TeV. The $$p\overline{p}$$ accelerator used by CDF is the TEVATRON collider of FERMILAB, located in Batavia, Illinois (USA). The thesis is based on (21.4 ± 1.5) pb-1 of data collected by CDF during the 1992-93 collider run. The candidate is a member of the CDF Collaboration since the beginning of 1988....
