    abstract = "We present the first direct experimental bound on the total decay width
of the top quark, Gamma(t), using 955 pb(-1) of the Tevatron’s p (p)
over bar collisions recorded by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. We
identify 253 top-antitop pair candidate events. The distribution of
reconstructed top quark mass from these events is fitted to templates
representing different values of the top quark width. Using a confidence
interval based on likelihood-ratio ordering, we extract an upper limit
at 95% C.L. of Gamma(t) < 13.1 GeV for an assumed top quark mass of 175
GeV/c(2)."
