Abstract

The D0 Collaboration has performed a measurement of the top quark mass m_t based on six candidate events for the process tt^- → bW⁺bW^-, where the W bosons decay to eν or μν. This sample was collected during an exposure of the D0 detector to an integrated luminosity of 125pb^-1 of √ s = 1.8 TeV pp collisions. We obtain m_t = 168.4 ± 12.3(stat) ± 3.6(syst) GeV/c², consistent with the measurement obtained using single-lepton events. Combination of the single-lepton and dilepton results yields m_t = 172.0 ± 7.5 GeV/c².
