description

We present a measurement of the t (t) over bar production cross section multiplied by the branching ratio to tau lepton decaying semihadronically (tau(h)) plus jets, sigma(p (p) over bar -> t (t) over bar + X) center dot BR(t (t) over bar -> tau(h) + jets), at a center of mass energy root s = 1.96 TeV using 1 fb(-1) of integrated luminosity collected with the D0 detector. Assuming a top quark mass of 170 GeV, we measure sigma(t (t) over bar) center dot BR tau h (+ j) = 0.60(-0.22)(+0.23)(stat)(-0.14)(+0.15)(syst) +/- 0.04(lumi) pb. In addition, we extract the t (t) over bar production cross section using the t (t) over bar -> tau(h) + jets topology, with the result sigma(t (t) over bar) = 6.9(-1.2)(+1.2)(stat)(-0.7)(+0.8)(syst) +/- 0.4(lumi) pb. These findings are in good agreement with standard model predictions and measurements performed using other top quark decay channels.
