Abstract: (arXiv)

We present a measurement of the \ttbar production cross section in \ppbar collisions at

\sqrt{s}=1.96

TeV using events containing a high transverse momentum electron or muon, three or more jets, and missing transverse energy. Events consistent with \ttbar decay are found by identifying jets containing candidate heavy-flavor semileptonic decays to muons. The measurement uses a CDF Run II data sample corresponding to

2 \mathrm{fb^{-1}}

of integrated luminosity. Based on 248 candidate events with three or more jets and an expected background of

79.5\pm5.3

events, we measure a production cross section of

9.1\pm 1.6 \mathrm{pb}

.
