Top Quark Mass Measurement in the 2.1 fb ^-1 Tight Lepton and Isolated Track Sample using Neutrino &Phi Weighting Method

We present the top quark mass measurement in the tight lepton and isolated track sample using neutrino &Phi weighting method. The unconstrained system of dilepton events is solved using the hypothesis about neutrino phi values. In 2.1 fb^-1 of data, we measure the top mass

M_top=167.7 ^+4.2_-4.0 (stat.) ± 3.1 (syst.) GeV/c²

from the 236 events passing the event selection.

Description of tables and plots	gif	eps
Two-component, constrained fit to the l+trk selected top mass candidates. The violet solid area corresponds to the background returned by the fit and the blue solid area is the sum of background and signal events. The insert shows the mass-dependent negative log-likelihood used in the fit. Measured top mass from 236 data events: Mtop=167.7 +4.2-4.0 (stat.) ± 3.1 (syst.) GeV/c2		eps
Expected statistical errors from pseudo-experiments.The arrows indicate the errors returned by the fit to the data.		eps
The examples of the signal templates for masses in the region 159-189 GeV/c2.		eps
Templates of background processes Drell-Yan, Diboson, "fake" events. Lower right plot shows the combined background.		eps
The extracted top mass as a function of input mass. The result of a linear fit is also shown. The lower plot shows the residuals (reconstructed - input top mass).		eps

We also performed the unconstrained fit to the l+trk selected top mass candidates. The violet solid area corresponds to the background returned by the fit and the blue solid area is the sum of background and signal events. The insert shows the mass-dependent negative log-likelihood used in the fit. The fit returns the top mass Mtop=167.6+4.4-4.2 GeV/c2 with 118.2+27.5-25.5 background events.		eps
