contents Future electron-positron colliders offer a unique opportunity for high-precision measurements of the top-quark mass, width, strong coupling constant, and top-quark Yukawa coupling via a scan of the $t\bar{t}$ threshold. We present the first prospect study of the simultaneous determination of these parameters, incorporating the latest reference detector design for the Circular Electron-Positron Collider (CEPC). We find that the precision of the top-quark mass measurement can reach a few MeV excluding the theoretical uncertainty on the cross-section, which is nearly two orders of magnitude better than the high-luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) projections. The current theoretical uncertainty of the cross-section calculation is the limiting factor.
