DOWNLOAD EBOOKWe 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.
