High Energy Physics - Experiment 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The top quark pair production cross-section σttˉ{\sigma}_{t\bar{t}} has been measured in ppˉp\bar{p} collisions at center of mass energies of 1.96 TeV using Tevatron Run 2 data. In the begining of Run 2 both CDF and D\O\ σttˉ\sigma_{t\bar{t}} measurements in the {\it dilepton} channel ttˉWbWbˉˉνb barνbˉt\bar{t}{\to}WbW\bar{b}{\to}\bar{\ell}{\nu}_{\ell}b{\ell}^{'}\ bar{\nu}_{{\ell}^{'}}\bar{b} and in the {\it lepton plus jets} channel ttˉWbWbˉqqˉbνˉbˉ+ˉνbqqˉbˉt\bar{t}{\to}WbW\bar{b}{\to}q\bar{q}^{'}b{\ell}\bar{\nu}_{\ell }\bar{b}+\bar{\ell}{\nu}_{\ell}bq\bar{q}^{'}\bar{b} agree with the NLO (Next-to-Leading-Order) theoretical predictions. The presence of a top signal in Tevatron data has been reestablished.
