Abstract

We report a new possibility of using the \mct2\mct2 (Constransverse mass) variable for mass measurement in single step decay chains involving missing particles with moderate transverse momentum. We show that its experimental feasibility is enhanced compared to the corresponding \mt2\mt2-kink method. We apply this method to reconstruct a pair of chargino decay chains.
