Abstract:
A top quark mass measurement is performed using 35.9 fb135.9~\mathrm{fb}^{-1} of LHC proton-proton collision data collected with the CMS detector at s=13 TeV\sqrt{s}=13~\mathrm{TeV} in 2016. The measurement uses the tt\mathrm{t}\overline{\mathrm{t}} all-jets final state, which comprises a total of six jets. A kinematic fit is performed to reconstruct the decay of the tt\mathrm{t}\overline{\mathrm{t}} system and suppress QCD multijet background. By means of the ideogram method, the top quark mass is determined, simultaneously constraining an additional jet energy scale factor (JSF\text{JSF}). The result of 172.34±0.20(stat+JSF)±0.76(syst) GeV172.34\pm0.20\,\text{(stat+JSF)}\pm0.76\,\text{(syst)}~\mathrm{GeV} for the top quark mass is in good agreement with previous measurements in the same and different final states.
