### Measurement of the tt̄ production cross section in 2fb-1 of pp̄ collisions at s=1.96TeV using lepton plus jets events with soft muon b tagging

Abstract:

We present a measurement of the tt̄ production cross section in pp̄ collisions at s=1.96TeV using events containing a high transverse momentum electron or muon, three or more jets, and missing transverse energy. Events consistent with tt̄ 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 2fb-1 of integrated luminosity. Based on 248 candidate events with three or more jets and an ex...
