Measurement of the T$\bar{t}$ Production Cross Section in P$\bar{p}$ Collisions at {u221A}s
We present the measurement of the t$ar{t}$ cross section in the lepton plus jets channel with ≥ 1 and ≥ 2 secondary vertex tags. We use the scalar sum of transverse energies of the event (HT) to discriminate t{bar t} from the other backgrounds. We also use the transverse mass of the leptonic W-boson (M$Wtop{T}$) to further reduce the Non-W backgrounds. We use a combination of data and Monte Carlo to estimate the backgrounds from electroweak processes, single top, fake leptons, W+ Light Flavor fake tags, and real W+ Heavy Flavor production. We obtain a value of ? ≥1 = 8.7$+0.9top{-0.9}$(stat)$+1.2top{-0.9}$(sys) pb for the ≥1 tag cross section, and ? ≥2 = 8.7$+1.8top{-1.6}$(stat)$+1.9top{-1.3}$(sys) pb for the ≥2 tag cross section. The authors also present a measurement of the t$ar{t}$ cross section by fitting the Njet spectrum. They combine the =1 and ≥2 tag cross sections to obtain ?t$ar{t}$ = 8.9$+0.9top{-0.9}$(stat)$+1.4top{-1.3}$(syst)pb.
A Measurement of the Production Cross Section of T$\bar{t}$ in P$\bar{p}$ Collisions at {u221A}s
A measurement of the t$\bar{t}$ pair production cross section is presented using 162 pb -1 of data collected by the CDF experiment during Run II at the Tevatron. t$\bar{t}$} events in the lepton+jets channel are isolated by identifying electrons and muons, reconstructing jets and transverse missing energy, and identifying b jets with a secondary vertex tagging algorithm. The efficiency of the algorithm is measured in a control sample using a novel technique that is less dependent on the simulation. For a top quark mass of 175 GeV/c2 , a cross section of ?t$\bar{t}$ = 5.6$+1.2\atop{-1.1}$(stat.)$+0.9\atop{-0.6}$(syst.)pb is measured.
A Measurement of the T $\bar{t}$ Production Cross Section in P $\bar{p}$ Collisions at {u221A}s
I present a measurement of the t$ar{t}$ production cross section at √s = 1.96 TeV using 2034 pb-1 of CDF Run II data using events with a high transverse momentum electron or muon, three or more jets, and missing transverse energy. The measurement assumes a t → Wb branching fraction of 100 percent. Events consistent with t$ar{t}$ decay are found by identifying jets containing heavy-flavor semileptonic decays to muons. The dominant backgrounds are evaluated directly from the data. Based on 248 candidate events and an expected background of 86.8 ± 5.6 events, I measure a production cross section of 8.7 ± 1.1$+0.9top{-0.8}$ ± 0.6 pb, in agreement with the Standard Model.
