Abstract:This thesis presents the results of a search for tl production in 110 pb-1 of pp collisions at .JS=l.8 TeV. The data were collected using the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF). The search identifies events consistent with the Standard Model decay (tl ~ w+bw-'b). W bosons are identified by the presence of high momentum electrons or muons associated with missing energy transverse to the beam. At least three jets are required to reduce the background from W bosons produced with associated jets. Finally the pres… Show more
