We measure the top quark mass mt t¯t using pairs produced in the D0 detector by √s = 1.8 TeV p ¯p collisions in a 125pb-1 exposure at the Fermilab Tevatron. We make a two constraint fit to mt in t¯t → b W+ ¯bW- final states with one W decaying to q¯q and the other to ev or μ v. Events are binned in fit mass versus a measure of probability for events to be signal rather than background. Likelihood fits to the data yield mt = 17.3 ± 5.6 (stat) ± 6.2(syst) GeV/c2. © 1998 The American Physical Society.
