Combination of CDF and D0 results on the mass of the top quark using up to 9.7 fb$^{-1}$ at the Tevatron

摘要

We summarize the current top-quark mass measurements from the CDF and D0experiments at Fermilab. We combine published Run I (1992--1996) results withthe most precise published and preliminary Run II (2001--2011) measurementsbased on data corresponding to up to 9.7 fb$^{-1}$ of $p\bar{p}$ collisions.Taking correlations of uncertainties into account, and combining thestatistical and systematic uncertainties, the resulting preliminary Tevatronaverage mass of the top quark is $M_{top} = 174.34 \pm 0.64 ~GeV/c^2$,corresponding to a relative precision of 0.37%.
