Abstract
We describe a simple method to measure the top quark mass in the \(t\overline t \to WbW\overline b \to e\mu \) channel that may be useful in Run II of DØ detector. The method is validated by applying it to the Run Ib eµ data.

It would be better to weigh each variable according to the probability that it correctly pairs the lepton and b-jet. However, in this study we have not pursued this option
One can also do thing rights: minimize eq. (5), subject to the constraint Σ i W i =1, taking into account the fact that the m i are correlated
