Two complementary methods discriminate between signal and background, b-tagging and a kinematic likelihood discriminant. Based on 0.9 fb-1 of data collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider, we measure sigma_ttbar=7.62+/-0.85 pb, assuming the current world average m_t=172.6 GeV. We compare our cross section measurement with theory predictions to determine a value for the top quark mass of 170+/-7 GeV.7 pages, 3 figures, 5 tables, submitted to Physical Review LettersHigh Energy Physics - ExperimentMeasurement of the ttbar production cross section in ppbar collisions at sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeVtext
