Abstract
We report a measurement of the mass of the top quark in final states of data corresponding to of integrated luminosity collected by the D0 experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. A matrix-element method is developed that combines an in situ jet energy calibration with our standard jet energy scale derived from studies of and dijet events. We then implement a flavor-dependent jet-response correction through a novel approach. This method is used to measure a top-quark mass of . Combining this result with our previous result obtained on an independent data set, we measure a top-quark mass of for a total integrated luminosity of .
