Identification of top quarks using kinematic variables.
1995
We have used a kinematic technique to distinguish
top quark
pair productionfrom background in {ital p{bar p}} collisions at {radical}{ital s}=1.8 TeV, applied to 67 pb{sup {minus}1} of data. We define a sample of {ital W}+{ge}3 jet events in which the jets are produced at large angles relative to the incident beams. In this sample, we find an excess of events with large jet transverse energies relative to expectations from background. The excess is consistent with
top quarkproduction; a large fraction of events in this kinematic region contains {ital b} jets. We interpret these results as evidence that most of the selected events are from {ital t{bar t}} decay.
