Foster, G W

A search for new heavy quarks is proton-antiproton collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider ({radical}{ital {bar s}}=1.8 TeV) is described. Primary emphasis is given to the search for final states in which the charged-current decays of a {ital t{bar t}} pair produce both an electron and a muon. The data taken during the first portion (2.0 pb{sup {minus}1}) of the 1988--1989 run is analysed. The top quark (as well as a fourth generation {ital b}{prime} quark) is excluded at the 95% C. L. in the mass range 30 to 60 GeV/c{sup 2}. Other prospects for heavy quark physics at CDF are discussed.
