Abstract
Upgraded Tevatron RUN-II luminosity has opened a new chapter in a modern heavy quark studies—a top physics: a dozen level of a Tevatron Run-I top events statistic now is being replaced by hundreds events. This work reviews a mass measurement of the top quark produced at \(\sqrt s \) = 1.96 TeV in p \(\bar p\) collisions at the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) with the integrated luminosity samples up to 359 pb−1. The review covers the M(top) measurement using mainly the so-called template methods both in the “lepton + jets” and “dilepton” channels of top quark decay. The CDF top quark mass obtained in the lepton + jets mode is currently the world’s most precise single measurement of this important physical parameter. This work summarizes the essential results of the CDF top quark mass measurement achieved and published for the recent 2003–2005 period.
