Measurement of the top quark mass
- Univ. of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI (United States)
From p$$\bar{p}$$ collisions at √s = 1.8 TeV in the Fermilab Tevatron collider, top quarks are produced predominantly in t$$\bar{t}$$ pairs. After applying a sophisticated event selection to the ≈ 100pb -1 data recorded by the D0 detector, we have 35 t$$\bar{t}$$ → e(μ) + jets candidates with the backgrounds estimated to be 16.3 ± 2.2. We perform a kinematically constrained fit for individual events, and the results are input to a likelihood analysis.
