  1. Status of Top Quark Analyses at DØ Marumi Kado Measurement of the top production cross section Run II data Improved measurement of the top mass with Run I data Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory On behalf of the DØ Collaboration Marumi Kado - LBL

  2. _ First Measurement of the tt Cross Section at s=1.96 TeV Lepton+jets (topological) Lepton+jets (soft muon tag) dileptons • Measurement based six analysis channels: • Cross section at Run II ~30% higher than at Run I • Predictions ranging from 6.7 to 7.5 pb • Data sample from mid-August until mid-January • with luminosities from 30 to 50 pb-1 • Triggers em and mm e+jets, m+jets e+jets/m, m+jets/m Br = 2.5 and 1.2% Br = 14.7% Br = 14.7% Efficient Not very pure Pure Not very efficient Pure and efficient Low branching Use calorimeter and muon system at all levels of the trigger (L1, L2 and L3) Marumi Kado - LBL

  3. Improved legacy 0.5 cone algorithm with JES corrections (see talk by B. Kehoe) Object Identification Reconstruction of Jets and Jet energy scale: Reconstruction of electrons (only central): - Select EM particles (simple cone, shower shape, EM fraction) - Match with track (f, h, and E/p) Reconstruction of muons: Missing Transverse Energy: DØ Run II Preliminary DØ Run II Preliminary 2 EM No track required 2 EM 1 track required • Tracks in Muon system • Tracks in Central Tracker • Minimum Ionisation in the calorimeter ID Used for redundancy only to measure efficiencies From calorimeter with JES corrections (and muon correction) Marumi Kado - LBL

Lepton-plus-Jets Analyses 49.5 pb-1 40.0 pb-1 - Preselect a sample enriched in W events - Evaluate QCD multi-jet (as a function of Njets) - Estimate W+4jets assuming Berends scaling - Apply topological selection • Luminosities: e+jets and m+jets • Backgrounds: QCD multi-jets and W multi-jets • Method: • Preselection: • QCD background evaluation (matrix method): 1 EM object or muon, MET, soft muon veto Separate W+tt and QCD with loose (L) and tight (T) lepton characteristics. Efficiencies (LT) for signal eW+tt and background eQCD are measured independently: e+jets: Track match to the EM object m+jets: Muon isolation “Matrix method”  Marumi Kado - LBL
