A Measurement of the Top-antitop Production Cross Section in the Dimuon Final State with the D0 Detector for Proton-antiproton Collisions at s**(1/2) = 1.96 TeV

A Measurement of the Top-antitop Production Cross Section in the Dimuon Final State with the D0 Detector for Proton-antiproton Collisions at s**(1/2) = 1.96 TeV

A measurement of the top pair production cross section in the dimuon final state for proton-antiproton collisions at s**(1/2) = 1.96 TeV is presented. Approximately 420 pb^{-1} of data collected with the Run II D0 detector are used for this measurement. Two data events are observed with a total e...
