The measurement of the cross section for the inclusive production of isolated prompt photons in proton-antiproton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$=1.96~TeV is presented. The data set corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 9.5~fb$^{-1}$, collected with the Collider Detector at Fermilab in Run~II. The measurement is performed as a function of the photon transverse energy ($E_T^{\gamma}$) covering the range of 30~GeV$

A measurement of the inclusive production cross section of isolated prompt photons in proton-antiproton collisions at center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}$=1.96TeV is presented. The results are obtained using the full Run II data sample collected with the Collider Detector at the Fermilab Tevatron, which corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 9.5fb$^{-1}$. The cross section is measured as a function of photon transverse energy, $E_T^{\gamma}$, in the range 30$

This article reports a measurement of the cross section of prompt isolated photon pair production in p{bar p} collisions at a total energy √s = 1.96 TeV using data of 5.36 fb−1 integrated luminosity collected with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. The measured cross section, differential in basic kinematic variables, is compared with three perturbative QCD predictions, a leading order (LO) parton shower calculation and two next-to-leading order (NLO) calculations. The NLO calculations reproduce most aspects of the data. By including photon radiation from quarks before and after hard scattering, the parton shower prediction becomes competitive with the NLO predictions.

This paper reports a measurement of the cross section for the pair production of top quarks in p{bar p} collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron. The data was collected from the CDF II detector in a set of runs with a total integrated luminosity of 1.1 fb−1. The cross section is measured in the dilepton channel, the subset of t{bar t} events in which both top quarks decay through t → Wb → l[nu]b, where l = e, [mu], or [tau]. The lepton pair is reconstructed as one identified electron or muon and one isolated track. The use of an isolated track to identify the second lepton increases the t{bar t} acceptance, particularly for the case in which one W decays as W → [tau][nu]. The purity of the sample may be further improved at the cost of a reduction in the number of signal events, by requiring an identified b-jet. They present the results of measurements performed with and without the request of an identified b-jet. the former is the first published CDF result for which a b-jet requirement is added to the dilepton selection. In the CDF data there are 129 pretag lepton + track candidate events, of which 69 are tagged. With the tagging information, the sample is divided into tagged and untagged sub-samples, and a combined cross section is calculated by maximizing a likelihood. The result is [sigma]{sub t{bar t}} = 9.6 ± 1.2(stat.){sub -0.5}{sup +0.6}(sys.) ± 0.6(lum.) pb, assuming a branching ratio of BR(W → l[nu]) = 10.8% and a top mass of m{sub t} = 175 GeV/c2.
