Abstract

A search for narrow resonances that decay into t-tbar pairs has been performed using 130 pb-1 of data in the lepton+jets channel collected in p-pbar collisions at √(s) = 1.8 TeV. There is no significant deviation observed from the standard model, and upper limits at the 95 % confidence level on the product of the production cross section and branching fraction to t-tbar are presented for narrow resonances as a function of the resonance mass MX. These limits are used to exclude the existence of a leptophobic topcolor particle with mass MX < 560 GeV/c2 and width ΓX = 0.012 MX.
