Top Mass Measurement at CDF
Kostas Kordas (for the CDF collaboration)
TL;DR
This paper presents recent measurements of the top quark mass from CDF using Run II data, highlighting the most precise single measurement of 173.5 GeV/c^2 in the lepton plus jets channel.
Contribution
It reports the most accurate single top mass measurement to date from CDF using a specific decay channel with 320/pb of data.
Findings
Top quark mass measured as 173.5 GeV/c^2
Data from ~320/pb of Run II Tevatron data used
Emphasis on the best single measurement to date
Abstract
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).
