The top quark mass is measured using a template
method in the t ¯t → lepton + jets channel (lepton is e
or μ) using ATLAS data recorded in 2012 at the LHC. The
data were taken at a proton–proton centre-of-mass energy
of
√
s = 8 TeV and correspond to an integrated luminosity
of 20.2 fb−1. The t ¯t → lepton + jets channel is
characterized by the presence of a charged lepton, a neutrino
and four jets, two of which originate from bottom
quarks (b). Exploiting a three-dimensional template technique,
the top quark mass is determined together with a
global jet energy scale factor and a relative b-to-light-jet
energy scale factor. The mass of the top quark is measured
to be mtop = 172.08 ± 0.39 (stat) ± 0.82 (syst) GeV. A
combinationwith previousATLASmtop measurements gives
mtop = 172.69 ± 0.25 (stat) ± 0.41 (syst) GeV.
