Book excerpt: We report a measurement of the mass of the top quark in lepton+jets final states of p{bar p} → t{bar t} data corresponding to 2.6 fb−1 of integrated luminosity collected at the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. Using a matrix element method, we combine an in situ jet energy calibration with the standard jet energy scale derived in studies of [gamma] + jet and dijet events and employ a novel flavor-dependent jet response correction to measure a top-quark mass of m{sub t} = 176.01 ± 1.64 GeV. Combining this result with a previous result obtained on an independent data set, we measure a top-quark mass of m{sub t} = 174.94 ± 1.49 GeV for a total integrated luminosity of 3.6 fb−1.
