Abstract:

We have studied tt̄ production using multijet final states in pp̄ collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.8 TeV, with an integrated luminosity of 110.3 pb-1. Each of the top quarks with these final states decays exclusively to a bottom quark and a W boson, with the W bosons decaying into quark-antiquark pairs. The analysis has been optimized using neural networks to achieve the smallest expected fractional uncertainty on the tt̄ production cross section, and yields a cross section of 7.1±2.8 (stat)±1.5 (syst) pb, assuming a top quark mass of 172.1 GeV/c2. Combining this result with previous DØ measurements, where one or both of the W bosons decay leptonically, gives a tt̄ production cross section of 5.9±1.2 (stat)±1.1 (syst) pb. ©1999 The American Physical Society.

Abstract:

High-Q(2) NC and CC cross sections as measured at HERA can give information on two distinct areas of current interest. Firstly, supposing that all the electroweak parameters are well known, these cross sections may be used to give information on parton distribution functions (PDFs) in the new kinematic regime at high x and high Q(2). Secondly, supposing that PDFs are well known after evolution in Q(2) from the kinematic regime where they are already measured, these cross sections may be used to give information on electroweak parameters in a process where the exchanged boson is 'spacelike' rather than 'timelike'. WG1 addressed itself to clarifying the limits of our present and possible future knowledge on both these points.
