Measurement of the $$t \bar{t}$$ production cross-section at D0

Conference ·
OSTI ID:387536
We report on the results from the analyses of {ital t}{ital {anti t}} decays in {ital dilepton} and {ital lepton+jets} modes with {approx}100 pb{sup -1} of {ital p}{ital {anti p}} Collider data at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV collected by the D{null} experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron. We have observed 37 {ital t}{ital {anti t}} candidate events while the estimated background is 13.4 {+-} 3.0 events. The {ital t}{ital {anti t}} production cross section has been measured to be 5.2 {+-} 1.8 pb at a top quark mass of 170 GeV/c{sup 2}.
