T Anti-t Production Cross Section Measurement Using Soft Electron Tagging in P Anti-p Collisions at {u221A}s
We measure the production cross section of t$ar{t}$ events in p$ar{p}$ collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV. The data was collected by the CDF experiment in Run 2 of the Tevatron accelerator at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory between 2002 and 2007. 1.7 fb-1 of data was recorded during this time period. We reconstruct t$ar{t}$ events in the lepton+jets channel, whereby one W boson - resulting from the decay of the top quark pairs - decays leptonically and the other hadronically. The dominant background to this process is the production of W bosons in association with multiple jets. To distinguish t$ar{t}$ from background, we identify soft electrons from the semileptonic decay of heavy flavor jets produced in t$ar{t}$ events. We measure a cross section of ?$ar{p}$ = 7.8 ± 2.4(stat) ± 1.6(syst) ± 0.5(lumi).

We measure the production cross section of t{bar t} events in p{bar p} collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV. The data was collected by the CDF experiment in Run 2 of the Tevatron accelerator at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory between 2002 and 2007. 1.7 fb−1 of data was recorded during this time period. We reconstruct t{bar t} events in the lepton+jets channel, whereby one W boson - resulting from the decay of the top quark pairs - decays leptonically and the other hadronically. The dominant background to this process is the production of W bosons in association with multiple jets. To distinguish t{bar t} from background, we identify soft electrons from the semileptonic decay of heavy flavor jets produced in t{bar t} events. We measure a cross section of [sigma]{sub p{bar p}} = 7.8 ± 2.4(stat) ± 1.6(syst) ± 0.5(lumi).
Measurement of the T Anti-t Production Cross Section in P Anti-p Collisions at {u221A}s
The direct observation of the top quark was first achieved at the Tevatron proton anti-proton collider at Fermilab. This discovery completed the third generation quark sector where the top quark is expected to accompany the bottom quark in the weak isospin doublet. This dissertation discusses the experimental verification of the production cross section as predicted by the Standard Model. A measurement of the t$ar{t}$ production cross section using 107.9 pb-1 of p$ar{p}$ collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV collected with the Collider Detector at Fermilab between March of 2003 and June of 2003 is presented. The measurement focuses on the t$ar{t}$ production in the ''lepton plus jets'' final state in which one of the W bosons from the t$ar{t}$ decay subsequently decays leptonically to an electron or a muon, and the other decays hadronically. The B-tagging technique which utilizes the precision silicon detector tracking is used to enhance the signal for t$ar{t}$ events relative to the background through identification of the bottom quark from its measurable lifetime. The t$ar{t}$ production cross section is measured to be ?t$ar{t}$ = 4.5 ± 1.4(stat) ± 0.8(sys) pb.
