Abstract

The top quark mass has been measured using the template method in the tt lepton + jets channel based on data recorded in 2011 with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The data were taken at a proton-proton centre-of-mass energy of √s = 7 TeV and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 1.04 fb^(−1). The analyses in the e + jets and μ + jets decay channels yield consistent results. The top quark mass is measured to be m_ (top) =174.5±0.6_(stat)±2.3_(syst) GeV.
