Precision measurement of the top-quark mass in lepton+jets final states
arXiv:1501.07912 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.91.112003
Abstract
We measure the mass of the top quark in leptonjets final states using the full sample of collision data collected by the D0 experiment in Run II of the Fermilab Tevatron Collider at TeV, corresponding to of integrated luminosity. We use a matrix element technique that calculates the probabilities for each event to result from production or background. The overall jet energy scale is constrained in situ by the mass of the boson. We measure GeV. This constitutes the most precise single measurement of the top-quark mass.
