Measurement of the t(bar t) Production Cross Section in 2 fb-1 of p(bar p) Collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV Using Lepton Plus Jets Events with Soft Muon b-Tagging

Description

We present a measurement of the t(bar t) production cross section in p(bar p) collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV using events containing a high transverse momentum electron or muon, three or more jets, and missing transverse energy. Events consistent with t(bar t) decay are found by identifying jets containing candidate heavy-flavor semileptonic decays to muons. The measurement uses a CDF Run II data sample corresponding to 2 fb-1 of integrated luminosity. Based on 248 candidate events with three or more jets and an expected background of 79.5 ± 5.3 events, we measure a production cross section of 9.1 ± 1.6 pb
