Abstract
Further kinematical variables are suggested, in which to compare the putative leptonic plus 4-jet top quark signal with the QCD background. We show that the lepton rapidity asymmetry, the -ranking of the tagged -jet, the double-tag probability, the reconstructed invariant mass, and the lepton energy in the parent top quark rest-frame, all display interesting differences between signal and background.
