This article presents a measurement of the top quark mass using the CDF II detector at Fermilab. Colliding beams of protons and anti-protons at Fermilab's Tevatron (sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV) produce top/anti-top pairs, which decay to W^+W^-bbbar; events are selected where one W decays to hadrons, and one W decays to either …
