Title: CDF measurement of the top quark mass in the lepton + jets channel using the multivariate template method

Conference · · Int.J.Mod.Phys.A20:3206,2005
OSTI ID:15020276

The authors measure the mass of the top quark using 162 pb{sup -1} of data collected by the CDF experiment at FNAL in Run II. The decay chain t{bar t} {yields} bq{bar q}{bar b}lv is studied using a novel technique called the Multivariate Template Method (MTM). Using this technique they obtain a result of M{sub top} = 179.6{sub -6.3}{sup +6.4} {+-} 6.8 GeV/c{sup 2} for the top quark.
