CDF and D0 have published or submitted for publication eleven papers [1-11] that include direct experimental measurements of the top quark mass. Each experiment has found that the lepton+jets channel [1,5,6,9,10,11,12] gives the most precise result. However, CDF and D0 have also measured the top quark mass in other decay topologies. Both D0 [2,6] and CDF [3,4] have published additional results in the dilepton channels, while CDF [8] has published a result in the all-hadronic channel. Our aim in this note is to reduce the overall uncertainty on the top quark mass measurement by combining the most recent and final of these measurements [1,2,3,7,8]. This note combines the mass from the five separate measurements taking into account the statistical and systematic uncertainties as well as the correlations in the systematic uncertainties. The final Tevatron top mass based on Run 1 data is m{sub t} = 174.3 " 3.2(stat) " 4.0(syst) GeV/c2. Combining the statistical and systematic uncertainties, the top mass is m{sub t} = 174.3 " 5.1 GeV/c2.

We summarize the top-quark mass measurements from the CDF and D0 experiments at Fermilab. We combine published Run-I (1992-1996) measurements with the most recent preliminary Run-II (2001-present) measurements using up to 750 pb{sup -1} of data. Taking correlated uncertainties properly into account the resulting preliminary world average mass of the top quark is M{sub t} = 172.5 {+-} 1.3(stat) {+-} 1.9(syst) GeV/c{sup 2}, which corresponds to a total uncertainty of 2.3 GeV/c{sup 2}. The top-quark mass is now known with a precision of 1.3%--a 20% improvement relative to the previous combination.

We summarize the top-quark mass measurements from the CDF and D0 experiments at Fermilab. We combine published Run-I (1992-1996) measurements with the most recent preliminary Run-II (2001-present) measurements using up to 1 fb−1 of data. Taking correlated uncertainties properly into account the resulting preliminary world average mass of the top quark is M{sub t} = 171.4 ± 1.2(stat) ± 1.8(syst) GeV/c2, which corresponds to a total uncertainty of 2.1 GeV/c2. The top-quark mass is now known with a precision of 1.2%.

We summarize the top-quark mass measurements from the CDF and D0 experiments at Fermilab. We combine published Run I (1992--1996) measurements with the most precise published and preliminary Run II (2001--present) measurements using up to 5.8 fb−1 of data, adding new analyses (the missing transverse energy plus jets analysis) and updating old ones. Taking uncertainty correlations into account, and adding in quadrature the statistical and systematic uncertainties, the resulting preliminary Tevatron average mass of the top quark is M{sub t} = 173.2 ± 0.9 GeV/c2.

The Evidence for the Top Quark offers both a historical and philosophical perspective on an important recent discovery in particle physics: the first evidence for the elementary particle known as the top quark. Drawing on published reports, oral histories, and internal documents from the large collaboration that performed the experiment, Kent Staley explores in detail the controversies and politics that surrounded this major scientific result.At the same time the book seeks to defend an objective theory of scientific evidence based on error probabilities.
