Abstract

We review the direct measurements of the top quark mass M_t using the sample of tt̄ events collected by the DØ and CDF experiments at Fermilab. Measurements using events in the lepton plus jets, dilepton, and all-hadronic tt̄ decay modes are reviewed, as is the combination of the results to yield the current world average M_t = 174.3 ± 3.2(stat.) ± 4.0 (syst.) GeV/c². We close by estimating the precision attainable with future data sets at Fermilab and the Large Hadron Collider.
