Abstract

The top quark decays more quickly than the strong-interaction time scale, \ensuremathΛ_QCD^\ensuremath-1, and might be expected to escape the effects of nonperturbative QCD. Nevertheless, the top-quark pole mass, like the pole mass of a stable heavy quark, is ambiguous by an amount proportional to \ensuremathΛ_QCD.
