نویسنده
چکیده
We review the search for the top quark conducted by the DØ collaboration using data from the Fermilab pp collider. Based upon a preliminary analysis of an integrated luminosity of about 13.5 pb −1 , we have searched for tt production and decay in the experimental channels involving a pair of dileptons (e or µ) plus jets, or single leptons plus jets. Summed over all channels, we observe 7 events in our data, to be compared with an expectation from background processes of 3.2 ± 1.1 events. The tt cross-section deduced from the small excess of events is presented as a function of the top quark mass. The statistics are sufficiently limited that no clear evidence for the existence of the top quark can be obtained. We also comment upon contributions to the Parallel session devoted to the top quark at this conference.

Ju n 19 97 Top quark mass measurements from the Tevatron
We review the measurements of the top quark mass by the CDF and DØ collaborations using Run I data in excess of 100 pb−1. The DØ collaboration [1] has recently updated its measurement of the top quark mass in the lepton + jets channel. The world average of the top quark mass from the CDF [2] and DØ measurements in the lepton + jets channel now stands at 175.6 ± 5.5 GeV/c2.

DØ has implemented and calibrated a k ⊥ jet algorithm for the first time in a pp collider. We present two results based on 1992-1996 data which were recently published: the subjet multiplicity in quark and gluon jets and the central inclusive jet cross section. The measured ratio between subjet multiplicities in gluon and quark jets is consistent with theoretical predictions and previous experi...
متن کامل3 v 1 1 8 Se p 19 96 Top Quark Physics Results from CDF and D 0
I summarize recent top quark physics results from the Fermilab Tevatron experiments. Since the observation of the top quark by CDF and D0 in 1995, the experimental focus has shifted to a detailed study of the top quark’s properties. This article describes recent measurements of the top quark production cross section, mass, kinematic properties, branching ratios, Vtb, and the W polarization in t...

The top quark has been discovered in 1995 at the CDF [1] and DØ [2] experiments located in the Tevatron ring at the Fermilab laboratory. After more than a decade the Tevatron collider, with its center-of-mass energy collisions of 1.96TeV, is still the only machine capable of producing such exceptionally heavy particle. Here I present a selection of the most recent CDF and DØ measurements perfor...
متن کاملCombination of CDF and DØ Results on the Mass of the Top Quark The Tevatron Electroweak Working Group 1 for the CDF and DØ Collaborations
We summarize the top-quark mass measurements from the CDF and DØ experiments at Fermilab. We combine published Run-I (1992-1996) measurements with the most recent preliminary Run-II (2001-present) measurements using up to 750 pb −1 of data. Taking correlated uncertainties properly into account the resulting preliminary world average mass of the top quark is M t = 172.5 ± 1.3(stat) ± 1.9(syst) G...
