Abstract
With the prospects for the¯pp colliding beam experiments in view, with the center-of-mass energy√s in the range 20–800 GeV, it is attractive to estimate the contribution of heavy particle pairs to charged multilepton production. In this paper we estimate cross sections of charged multilepton yields from the weak, semileptonic, and cascade decays of the bottom and top particle pairs produced in inclusive¯pp collisions. Such cross sections may serve as additional inputs in any future experimental searches for the top flavor. They may also help to discriminate quark mixing angles when precise charged multilepton signals become available.
