Measuring the top quark mass with m_T2 at the LHC

Understand

We investigate the possibility to measure the top quark mass using the collider variable $m_{T2}$ at the LHC experiment.

• Monte Carlo studies of $m_{T2}$ are performed with the events corresponding to the dilepton decays of $t\bar{t}$ produced at the LHC with 10 $fb^{-1}$ integrated luminosity.
• Our analysis suggests that the top quark mass can be determined by the $m_{T2}$ variable alone with a good precision at the level of 1 GeV.
