1205.2175 (Stijn Blyweert et al.)

Top-quark mass measurements at the LHC    [PDF]

Stijn Blyweert, for the ATLAS Collaboration, the CMS Collaboration
The top-quark mass mt is one of the fundamental parameters of the standard model (SM) of particle physics. The CDF and D0 collaborations already performed very precise measurements of mt . Since the ATLAS and CMS collaborations already have a very large sample of top quark pairs available for analysis, they are producing results with increasing precision. An overview of the most recent measurements of mt by ATLAS and CMS is given, using up to 4.7 fb-1 of data in different ttbar decay channels. The measurement of the mass difference between top and antitop quarks is also shown. Finally, the combination of the individually measured mt values is discussed, together with an outlook for future mt measurements.
