Abstract

We introduce the ratio ofb bˉ events to the hadronic nonb bˉ ones as an excellent quantity to determine indirectly the top quark mass at high luminosity LEP. Assuming a realistic impact parameter resolution we conclude that with a few million Z's the top quark mass can be fixed with a precision of about 15 GeV.
