Measurement of Top Quark Mass from Dilepton Events using Invariant Mass of Lepton and $$b$$-jet in $$p\bar{p}$$ collisions at $$\sqrt{s}=1.8$$ TeV
- National Taiwan Univ., Taipei (Taiwan)
The Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) has collected 109 inverse picobarn of proton antiproton collision data from the 1992-1996 Tevatron run (Run 1), at a center of mass energy of $$sqrt{s} = 1.8$$ TeV. From the data we observed 10 $$p\bar{p}\to$$ dilepton + dijet + missing transverse energy candidate top quark events with an expectation of 2.0±0.42 events from backgrounds. From this sample of dilepton events, with a simple relation between top quark mass and mean invariant mass between lepton and $$b$$-jet and an algorithm to pair leptons with jets, we have measured the mass of top quark to be $$162 \pm 21 ({\rm stat.})^{+6.8}_{-7.3} ({\rm syst.})$$ GeV /$c^2$, in agreement with results from lepton+jets channel 175.6 ± 5.6 GeV/$c^2$. The possible improvements in the future are also discussed.
