The measurement uses a sample of top quark pair candidate events containing one isolated electron or muon and at least four jets in the final state. For each event, the mass is reconstructed from a kinematic fit of the decay products to a top quark pair hypothesis. A profile likelihood method is applied using up to four observables per event to extract the top quark mass. The top quark mass is measured to be <jats:inline-formula><jats:alternatives><jats:tex-math>$$171.77\pm 0.37\,\text {Ge}\hspace{-.08em}\text {V} $$</jats:tex-math><mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:mn>171.77</mml:mn> <mml:mo>±</mml:mo> <mml:mn>0.37</mml:mn> <mml:mspace /> <mml:mtext>Ge</mml:mtext> <mml:mspace /> <mml:mtext>V</mml:mtext> </mml:mrow> </mml:math></jats:alternatives></jats:inline-formula>.
