Measurements of the top quark mass with the D0 detector
Abstract
The mass of the top quark is a fundamental parameter of the standard model (SM) and has to be determined experimentally. In this talk, I present the most recent measurements of the top quark mass in p p collisions at s=1.96~TeV recorded by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The measurements are performed in final states containing two leptons, using 5.4~ of integrated luminosity, and one lepton, using 9.7~ of integrated luminosity. The latter constitutes the most precise single measurement of the mass of the top quark, corresponding to a relative precision of 0.43\%. I conclude with a combination of our results with the results by the CDF collaboration, attaining a relative precision of 0.37\%
