Title: Search for the Top Quark in Electron - Muon Events in the Collider Detector at Fermilab

Abstract

A search for $$t\overline{t} \to e\mu \to X$$ in $$p\overline{p}$$ collisions at $$\sqrt{s}$$ = l.8 TeV is described. The production and decay of top quark-antiquark pairs is considered in the context of the Standard Model. The analysis is based on data with an integrated luminosity of 4.4 $$pb^{-1}$$ recorded with the Collidcr Detector at Fermilab in the 1988-1989 run. An upper limit on the $$t\overline{t}$$ cross section is obtained and the top quark in the mass range 28 to 72 $GeV/c^2$ is excluded at the 95% CL. The same limits apply to a possible fourth generation, charge $$-\frac{1}{3}$$ $$b^{\prime}$$
