    abstract = "The top quark is the heaviest known elementary particle, with a mass
about 40 times larger than the mass of its isospin partner, the bottom
quark. It decays almost 100% of the time to a W boson and a bottom
quark. Using top-antitop pairs at the Tevatron proton-antiproton
collider, the CDF and D0 Collaborations have measured the top quark’s
mass in different final states for integrated luminosities of up to 5.8
fb(-1). This paper reports on a combination of these measurements that
results in a more precise value of the mass than any individual decay
channel can provide. It describes the treatment of the systematic
uncertainties and their correlations. The mass value determined is
173.18 +/- 0.56 (stat) +/- 0.75 (syst) GeV or 173.18 +/- 0: 94 GeV,
which has a precision of +/- 0.54%, making this the most precise
determination of the top-quark mass."
