  3. Abstract The mass of the top quark is measured using a sample of $${{\text {t}}\overline{{\text {t}}}}$$ t t ¯ events collected by the CMS detector using proton-proton collisions at $$\sqrt{s}=13$$ s = 13 $$\,\text {TeV}$$ TeV at the CERN LHC. Events are selected with one isolated muon or electron and at least four jets from data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 $$\,\text {fb}^{-1}$$ fb - 1 . For each event the mass is reconstructed from a kinematic fit of the decay products to a $${{\text {t}}\overline{{\text {t}}}}$$ t t ¯ hypothesis. Using the ideogram method, the top quark mass is determined simultaneously with an overall jet energy scale factor (JSF), constrained by the mass of the W boson in $${\text {q}} \overline{{\text {q}}} ^\prime $$ q q ¯ ′ decays. The measurement is calibrated on samples simulated at next-to-leading order matched to a leading-order parton shower. The top quark mass is found to be $$172.25 \pm 0.08\,\text {(stat+JSF)} \pm 0.62\,\text {(syst)} \,\text {GeV} $$ 172.25 ± 0.08 (stat+JSF) ± 0.62 (syst) GeV . The dependence of this result on the kinematic properties of the event is studied and compared to predictions of different models of $${{\text {t}}\overline{{\text {t}}}}$$ t t ¯ production, and no indications of a bias in the measurements are observed.
