Abstract

If $W^{+}$ $W^{-}$ production at the Fermilab Tevatron exceeds the electroweak rate, the most economical explanation will be QCD production of a heavy top quark pp¯→tt¯X with t→ ${bW}^{+}$ , t¯→b¯ $W^{-}$ decays. The cleanest signatures are found in events containing two isolated high- $p_{T}$ charged leptons (e, μ, or τ) with missing $p_{T}$ . We suggest ways to confirm such signatures and to extract the top-quark mass.
