Abstract
We present the results of a detailed study of the effects of $b$-tagging on the heavy top-quark signal and backgrounds for the modes of the di-lepton plus two high transverse energy jets at the Fermilab Tevatron. The general characteristics of the heavy top-quark signal events are also discussed so that a comparison can be made between $b$-tagging and imposing stringent kinematical cuts to eliminate backgrounds.Comment: uses PHYZZX and TABLES macros, 10 pages, four figures not included (available by request), FERMILAB-Pub-93/105-Keywords
