In this thesis, the first measurement of the running of the top
quark mass is presented. This is a fundamental quantum effect that
had never been studied before. Any deviation from the expected
behaviour can be interpreted as a hint of the presence of physics
beyond the Standard Model. All relevant aspects of the analysis are
extensively described and documented. This thesis also describes a
simultaneous measurement of the inclusive top quark-antiquark
production cross section and the top quark mass in the simulation.
The measured cross section is also used to precisely determine the
values of the top quark mass and the strong coupling constant by
comparing to state-of-the-art theoretical predictions. All the
theoretical and experimental aspects relevant to the results
presented in this thesis are discussed in the initial chapters in a
concise but complete way, which makes the material accessible to a
wider audience.
