We present a procedure for the determination of the mass of the top quark at the LHC based on leptonic observables in dilepton $t\bar{t}$ events. Our approach utilises the shapes of kinematic distributions through their few lowest Mellin…
A new method to measure the mass of the top quark at the LHC is presented. This method uses lepton energy distribution and ideally does not depend on the velocity distribution of the top quark. We perform a simulation analysis of the top…

Current measurements of the top quark mass which have achieved a precision of less than 1 GeV involve a theoretical problem that the definition of the measured mass is ambiguous in perturbation theory. As a possible solution to the problem,…
