The top quark mass was measured in the channels tt ¯ →lepton+jets and tt ¯ →dilepton (lepton=e,μ ) based on ATLAS data recorded in 2011. The data were taken at the LHC with a proton--proton centre-of-mass energy of √s=7 TeV and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 4.6fb −1 . The tt ¯ →lepton+jets analysis uses a three-dimensional template technique which determines the top quark mass together with a global jet energy scale factor (JSF), and a relative b -to-light-jet energy scale factor (bJSF), where the terms b -jets and light-jets refer to jets originating from b -quarks and u,d,c,s -quarks or gluons, respectively. The analysis of the tt ¯ →dilepton channel exploits a one-dimensional template method using the m ℓb observable, defined as the average invariant mass of the two lepton+b -jet pairs in each event. The top quark mass is measured to be 172.33±0.75(stat)±1.02(syst) GeV, and 173.79±0.54(stat)±1.30(syst) GeV in the tt ¯ →lepton+jets and tt ¯ →dilepton channels, respectively. The combination of the two results yields m top =172.99±0.48(stat)±0.78(syst) GeV, with a total uncertainty of 0.91 GeV.
