First observation of the all-hadronic decay of t{ovr t} pairs.

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.
We present the first observation of the all hadronic decay of t{ovr t} pairs. The analysis is performed using 109 pb{sup -1} of p{ovr p} collisions at sqrt[s] = 1.8 TeV collected with the Collider Detector at Fermilab. We observe an excess of events with five or more jets, including one or two b jets, relative to background expectations. Based on this excess we evaluate the production cross section to be in agreement with previous results. We measure the top mass to be 186{+-}10{+-}12 GeV/c{sup 2}.
