Description
We discuss extractions of the pole mass of the top quark based on measurements of the inclusive and unfolded differential $p\bar p \to t\bar t$ production cross section as a function of $p_T(t)$ and $M(t\bar t)$. We use the full Run II (2001--2011) data set of $p \bar p$ collisions at $\sqrt s=1.96 $TeV collected by the D0 experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $9.7\ $fb$^{-1}$. We compare the indirect extraction to the final combination of direct measurements of the top quark mass at D0 and to the preliminary D0+CDF combination.
