We summarize here the results of the ''counting experiments'' by the CDF Collaboration in the search of t{bar t} production in p{bar p} collisions at (square root)s = 1800 TeV at the Tevatron. We analyze their statistical significance by calculating the probability that the observed excess is a fluctuation of the expected backgrounds, and assuming the excess is from top events, extract a measurement of the t{bar t} production cross-section.

We report on the measurement of the t[anti t] production cross section obtained by CDF and D0 experiments with p[anti p] collisions at[radical]s=1. 8 TeV. The analyses presented here refer to[integral] Ldt[approx]11O pb[sup -1] collected at the Fermilab Tevatron collider during the run 1992-96. About 85% of the possible t[anti t] decays have been studied in different channels classified according to the number of high P[sub T] leptons found in the final state. The production cross section has been measured in each individual channel and then combined into a single value for each experiment, which is[sigma][sub tt]= 7.5[sup 1.9][sub 1.6] pb for CDF and[sigma][sub tt]= 5.77[+-] 1.76 pb for D0.

We report on the results from the analyses of[ital t][ital[anti t]] decays in[ital dilepton] and[ital lepton+jets] modes with[approx]100 pb[sup -1] of[ital p][ital[anti p]] Collider data at[radical]s= 1.8 TeV collected by the D[null] experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron. We have observed 37[ital t][ital[anti t]] candidate events while the estimated background is 13.4[+-] 3.0 events. The[ital t][ital[anti t]] production cross section has been measured to be 5.2[+-] 1.8 pb at a top quark mass of 170 GeV/c[sup 2].

A measurement of the t{bar t} production cross section at √s = 1.96 TeV in the dilepton final states using a lepton+track selection and secondary vertex b-tagging is presented. One of the two leptons from the decay of the t{bar t} pair is allowed to be identified only as an isolated track to improve the selection efficiency. The result is combined with a measurement in the t{bar t} → e? final state. The measurements are based on 370 pb−1 of data collected with the D0 experiment at the Tevatron collider. The preliminary cross section obtained in the combined lepton+track and e? channel is:?{sub t{bar t}} = 8.6{sub -1.7}{sup +1.9}(stat) ± 1.1(syst) ± 0.6(lumi) pb.

We present measurements of the top-antitop production cross section in b-tagged lepton + jets events from proton-antiproton collisions at 1.96 TeV using the CDF detector at Fermilab. B-jets are tagged with either a secondary vertex algorithm, or a soft lepton tagger that identifies muons from B hadron semileptonic decays. With Tevatron Run II data, we estimate the top-antitop signal fraction in two different ways: by estimating the various background contributions, and by fitting directly the leading jet transverse energy spectrum for the signal and background contributions. A subset of the sample with two secondary vertex tagged jets yields a production cross section consistent with the inclusive measurements. Results are consistent with a Standard Model top-antitop signal and current measurements of the top quark mass.
