Measurement of the top pair production cross section in the dilepton decay channel at CDF

ORAL

Abstract

We present a measurement of the $t\bar{t}$ production cross section in $p\bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 1.96 TeV using 2.8 fb$^{-1}$ of data collected by the CDF detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. We use $t\bar{t}$ dilepton events reconstructed with missing transverse energy and jets assuming top quark mass $m_t$ = 175 GeV/c$^2$. We measure $\sigma_{ t\bar{t}} = 6.13 \pm 0.88_{stat} \pm 0.40_{syst} \pm 0.38_{lumi}$ pb.
