A measurement of the top-antitop production cross section in the dimuon final state with the D0 detector for proton-antiproton collisions as √s = 1.96 TeV
- Univ. of Arizona, Tucson, AZ (United States)
A measurement of the top pair production cross section in the dimuon final state for proton-antiproton collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV is presented. Approximately 420 pb-1 of data collected with the Run II D0 detector are used for this measurement. Two data events are observed with a total expected signal plus background yield of 3.6 events. Assuming a top mass of 175 GeV, the measured cross section is: σt$$\bar{t}$$= 3.13$$+4.17\atop{-2.60}$$(stat)$$+0.92\atop{-0.86}$$(sys)±0.19(lumi)pb, which is consistent with a NNLO prediction of 6.77 ± 0.42 pb.
