Abstract
A measurement of the mass difference between top and anti-top quarks is presented. In a 4.7 fb[superscript −1] data sample of proton–proton collisions at √s = 7 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC, events consistent with t[¯ over t] production and decay into a single charged lepton final state are reconstructed. For each event, the mass difference between the top and anti-top quark candidate is calculated. A two b -tag requirement is used in order to reduce the background contribution. A maximum likelihood fit to these per-event mass differences yields Δm ≡ m[subscript t] − m[subscript ¯ over t] = 0.67 ± 0.61 (stat) ± 0.41 (syst) GeV, consistent with CPT invariance.
