Abstract: (arXiv)
The mass of the top quark is measured using a sample of ttˉt\bar{t} candidate events with at least six jets in the final state. The sample is selected from data collected with the CMS detector in pp collisions at s\sqrt{s} = 7 TeV in 2011 and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 3.54 inverse femtobarns. The mass is reconstructed for each event employing a kinematic fit of the jets to a ttˉt\bar{t} hypothesis. The top-quark mass is measured to be 173.49 ±\pm 0.69 (stat.) ±\pm 1.21 (syst.) GeV. A combination with previously published measurements in other decay modes by CMS yields a mass of 173.54 ±\pm 0.33 (stat.) ±\pm 0.96 (syst.) GeV.
