Abstract

We present a measurement of the tt̅ production cross section in pp̅ collisions at √s=1.8TeV by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron. The measurement is based on data from an integrated luminosity of approximately 125pb-1 accumulated during the 1992–1996 collider run. We observe 39 tt̅ candidate events in the dilepton and lepton+jets decay channels with an expected background of 13.7±2.2 events. For a top quark mass of 173.3GeV/c2, we measure the tt̅ production cross section to be 5.5±1.8pb.
