Book excerpt: A preliminary measurement of the t$ar{t}$ production cross section at √s = 1.96 TeV is presented. The ?-plus-jets final state is analyzed in a data sample of 94 pb-1 and a total of 14 events are selected with a background expectation of 11.7 ± 1.9 events. The measurement yields: ?p$ar{p}$ → t$ar{t}$ + X} = 2.4$+4.2top{-3.5}$(stat.)$+2.5top{-2.6}$(syst.) ± 0.3(lumi.) pb. The analysis, being part of a larger effort to re-observe the top quark in Tevatron Run II data and to measure the production cross section, is combined with results from all available analyses channels. The combined result yields: ? p$ar{p}$ → t$ar{t}$ + X = 8.1$+2.2top{-2.0}$(stat.)$+1.6top{-1.4}$(syst.) ± 0.8(lumi.) pb.
