AB - A measurement of the top-quark mass (m<sub>t</sub>) in the t―t→ lepton+jets channel is presented, with an experimental technique which exploits semileptonic decays of b-hadrons produced in the top-quark decay chain. The distribution of the invariant mass m<sub><i>l</i>μ</sub> of the lepton, <i>l</i> (with <i>l</i> = e,μ), from the W-boson decay and the muon, μ, originating from the b-hadron decay is reconstructed, and a binned-template profile likelihood fit is performed to extract m<sub>t</sub>. The measurement is based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb<sup>−1</sup> of √s = 13 TeVpp collisions provided by the Large Hadron Collider and recorded by the ATLAS detector. The measured value of the top-quark mass is m<sub>t</sub> = 174.41±0.39 (stat.)±0.66 (syst.)±0.25 (recoil) GeV, where the third uncertainty arises from changing the PYTHIA8 parton shower gluon-recoil scheme, used in top-quark decays, to a recently developed setup.
