Measurement of masses in the $\mathrm{t}\overline{\mathrm{t}}$ system by kinematic endpoints in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7\ \mathrm{TeV}$

Abstract: A simultaneous measurement of the top-quark, W-boson, and neutrino masses is reported for events selected in the dilepton final state from a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 fb−1 collected by the CMS experiment in pp collisions at . The analysis is based on endpoint determinations in kinematic distributions. When the neutrino and W-boson masses are constrained to their world-average values, a top-quark mass value of is obtained. When such constraints are not used, the three partic… Show more

“…those predicted by the SM may induce large biases in template-based m t extractions, unless the simulation of such BSM contribution is also taken into account. In this case, an approach insensitive to the production dynamics (which thus belongs to the first class introducted in section 1) would offer a valuable addition; one may mention here the CMS end-point method [34], or the promising energy-peak method suggested in ref. [35,36], provided that it could be extended to include NLO QCD corrections to top decays.…”

“…IV. RESONANCE-AWARE MATCHING WITH POWHEG In order to seriously assess theoretical uncertainties, for example in the context of direct top mass measurements at the LHC [45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53], it is clearly desirable to attain the highest combined logarithmic and fixed-order accuracy that is currently available for the production of resonances.…”

“…Some methods use the kinematic distributions of the dilepton channel to either determine the pole mass while being little sensitive to long-distance effects [72] or to perform a simultaneous evaluation of the top-quark, W -boson and neutrino masses, basing it on end-point determinations in the kinematic distributions [73]. This may be convenient in the investigation of New Physics models, where several masses in a decay chain may be unknown.…”
