Abstract

We present a measurement of

t \bar{t}

production in

p \bar{p}

collisions at

\sqrt{s} = 1.8 TeV

from

110 {pb}^{- 1}

of data collected in the all-jets decay channel with the D0 detector at Fermilab. A neural network analysis yields a cross section of

7.1 \pm 2.8 (stat) \pm 1.5 (syst) pb

at a top quark mass

(m_{t})

of

172.1 GeV {/ c}^{2}

. Using previous D0 measurements from dilepton and single lepton channels, the combined D0 result for the

t \bar{t}

production cross section is

5.9 \pm 1.2 (stat) \pm 1.1 (syst) pb

for

m_{t} = 172.1 GeV {/ c}^{2}

.
