Abstract

We present a new measurement of the top quark mass in

t \bar{t}

events in which both

W

bosons from top quarks decay into leptons

(e ν, μ ν)

. We use events collected by the CDF experiment from

p \bar{p}

collisions at

\sqrt{s} = 1.8 TeV

at the Tevatron collider. We measure a top quark mass of

167.4 \pm 10.3 (stat) \pm 4.8 (syst) GeV {/ c}^{2}

from a sample of eight events. We combine this result with previous CDF measurements in other decay channels to obtain a final mass value of

176.0 \pm 6.5 GeV {/ c}^{2}

.
