This book was released on 2007 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis presents two measurements of the top quark pair production cross section at (square root)s = 1:96 TeV using data from the D0 experiment. Both measurements are performed in the dilepton final state and make use of secondary vertex b-tagging.
