Top Mass Measurement at CDF
Abstract
Description
We report on recent measurements of the top quark mass using t t-bar candidate events selected in ~320/pb of data from the "Run II" operation period of the Tevatron p p-bar collider. More emphasis is given on the best single measurement to date Mtop = 173.5 +3.9 -3.8 GeV/c^2, provided by CDF using the "lepton plus jets" channel, where one W decays to a lepton-neutrino pair and the other into quarks (top quarks decay to Wb almost 100% of the time).
