Abstract
Further kinematical variables are suggested, in which to compare the p utative leptonic W plus 4-jet top quark signal with the QCD background . We show that the lepton rapidity asymmetry, the p(T)-ranking of the tagged b-jet, the double-tag probability, the reconstructed t + ($) ov er bar t invariant mass, and the lepton energy in the parent top quark rest-frame, all display interesting differences between signal and ba ckground.
