Abstract
The uncertainties due to limited knowledge of
the multi-hadron final state on the measurements of
the top mass at future linear colliders are discussed.
This study is performed for
annihilation
events at the center-of-mass energy of
s1/2=500 GeV
using Monte Carlo models tuned to LEP experiments.
The uncertainties are determined for
the all-hadronic top-decay mode
as well as for the lepton-plus-jets channel.
