We present a cross-section constraint top quark mass measurement in the dilepton channel.
This measurement is sensitive to the kinematics of the events and observed number
of events. The unconstrained system of dilepton events is solved using the top-antitop
longitudinal momentum, and the top quark mass is reconstructed for each event.
In 1.2 fb-1 of data, we measure the top mass

Mtop=170.7 +4.2-3.9 (stat.) ± 2.6 (syst.) ± 2.4 (theory) GeV/c2

from the 70 events passing the event selection and the mass reconstruction.
