Abstract

We report the measurements of the tt̅ production cross section and of the top quark mass using 1.02  fb<sup>-1</sup> of pp̅ data collected with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. We select events with six or more jets on which a number of kinematical requirements are imposed by means of a neural network algorithm. At least one of these jets must be identified as initiated by a b-quark candidate by the reconstruction of a secondary vertex. The cross section is measured to be σ<sub>tt̅</sub> =8.3±1.0(stat)<sub>-1.5</sub><sup>+2.0</sup>(syst)±0.5(lumi)  pb, which is consistent with the standard model prediction. The top quark mass of 174.0±2.2(stat)±4.8(syst)  GeV/c<sup>2</sup> is derived from a likelihood fit incorporating reconstructed mass distributions representative of signal and background.
