Summary
The top search in the dilepton and lepton plus jets channels with the Collider Detector at Fermilab is presented. The analysis uses a 67 pb−1 sample of p\(\bar p\) collisions at 1.8TeV. A 4.8σ excess of candidate events establishes the existence of the top quark. The t\(\bar t\) production cross-section is measured to be\(\sigma _{t\bar t} \)=7.6 +2.4−2.0 pb with branching ratio BR(t→Wb)=0.87 +0.13−0.30 (stat) +0.13−0.11 (syst). The measured mass isM top=(176±8±10) GeV.
