Direct Bound on the Total Decay Width of the Top Quark in pp̅ Collisions at √s=1.96  TeV

We present the first direct experimental bound on the total decay width of the top quark, Γ[subscript t], using 955  pb[superscript -1] of the Tevatron's pp̅ collisions recorded by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. We identify 253 top-antitop pair candidate events. The distribution of reconstr...
