Abstract

We present three measurements of the top-quark mass in the lepton plus jets channel with approximately $1.9\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{fb}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ of integrated luminosity collected with the CDF II detector using quantities with minimal dependence on the jet energy scale. One measurement exploits the transverse decay length of $b$-tagged jets to determine a top-quark mass of ${166.9}_{\ensuremath{-}8.5}^{+9.5}(\mathrm{stat})\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}2.9(\mathrm{syst})\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}/{c}^{2}$, and another the transverse momentum of electrons and muons from $W$-boson decays to determine a top-quark mass of ${173.5}_{\ensuremath{-}8.9}^{+8.8}(\mathrm{stat})\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}3.8(\mathrm{syst})\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}/{c}^{2}$. These quantities are combined in a third, simultaneous mass measurement to determine a top-quark mass of $170.7\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}6.3(\mathrm{stat})\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}2.6(\mathrm{syst})\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GeV}/{c}^{2}$.
