Abstract

The inclusive cross section for top-quark pair production measured by the CMS experiment in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV is compared to the QCD prediction at next-to-next-to-leading order with various parton distribution functions to determine the top-quark pole mass, mpolet, or the strong coupling constant, ?S. With the parton distribution function set NNPDF2.3, a pole mass of 176.7+3.0?2.8 GeV is obtained when constraining ?S at the scale of the Z boson mass, mZ, to the current world average. Alternatively, by constraining mpolet to the latest average from direct mass measurements, a value of ?S(mZ) = 0.1151+0.0028?0.0027 is extracted. This is the first determination of ?S using events from top-quark production.
