Abstract
The D0 Collaboration has performed a measurement of the top quark mass m(t) based on six candidate events for the process <t(t)over bar> --> bW(+)(b) over bar W-, where the W bosons decay to e nu or mu nu. This sample was collected during an exposure of the D0 detector to an inte grated luminosity of 125 pb(-1) of root s = 1.8 TeV <p(p)over bar> col lisions. We obtain m(t) = 168.4 +/- 12.3(stat) +/- 3.6(syst) GeV/c(2), consistent with the measurement obtained using single-lepton events. Combination of the single-lepton and dilepton results yields m(t) = 17 2.0 +/- 7.5 GeV/c(2).
