Cross Section for Topcolor Z' decaying to top-antitop

Abstract

We present a calculation of the cross section for the process p pbar -> Zt' -> t tbar, the production of a Topcolor Z' with subsequent decay to top quark pairs in proton anti-proton collisions at 1.8 TeV. Variations of the cross section with varying assumptions about the model, the resonance width, the parton distributions and the renormalization scale are presented.
