TY - JOUR T1 - Measurement of the top quark mass with the template method in the \(t\overline t\)→lepton+jets channel using ATLAS data JF - The European Physical Journal C N2 - The top quark mass has been measured using the template method in the \(t\overline t\)→lepton+jets channel based on data recorded in 2011 with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The data were taken at a proton-proton centre-of-mass energy of √s=7 TeV and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 1.04 fb\(^{−1}\). The analyses in the e+jets and μ+jets decay channels yield consistent results. The top quark mass is measured to be m\(_{top}\)=174.5±0.6\(_{stat}\)±2.3\(_{syst}\) GeV.

Results are presented based on the analysis of pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb\(^{−1}\). No excess beyond Standard Model expectations is observed. A W′ with Sequential Standard Model couplings is excluded at the 95 % credibility level for masses up to 2.55 TeV. Excited chiral bosons (W∗) with equivalent coupling strength are excluded for masses up to 2.42 TeV.
