The most precise top quark mass measurements use kinematic reconstruction methods, determining the top mass parameter of a Monte Carlo event generator, $m_t^{\rm MC}$. Due to hadronization and parton shower dynamics, relating $m_t^{\rm MC}$…

In this review I give an overview on the conceptual issues involved in the question how to interpret so-called `direct top quark mass measurements', which are based on the kinematic reconstruction of top quark decay products at the Large…
Currently the most precise LHC measurements of the top quark mass are determinations of the top quark mass parameter of Monte-Carlo (MC) event generators reaching uncertainties of well below $1$ GeV. However, there is an additional…
The top quark mass is one of the most intriguing parameters of the standard model (SM). Its value indicates a Yukawa coupling close to unity, and the resulting strong ties to Higgs physics make the top quark mass a crucial ingredient for…
We generalize and update our former top quark mass calibration framework for Monte Carlo (MC) event generators based on the $e^+e^-$ hadron-level 2-jettiness $\tau_2$ distribution in the resonance region for boosted $t\bar t$ production,…
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 $t\bar{t}$…
We study the Monte Carlo uncertainties due to modeling of hadronization and showering in the extraction of the top-quark mass from observables that use exclusive hadronic final states in top decays, such as $t \rightarrow…
We present a new determination of the top-quark mass $m_t$ based on the experimental data from the Tevatron and the LHC for single-top hadro-production. We use the inclusive cross sections of $s$- and $t$-channel top-quark production to…
I discuss the theoretical interpretation of the top-quark mass, which is extracted in standard and alternative measurements at the LHC. In particular, I point out that the top mass extracted in analyses relying on the use of Monte Carlo…
We report on the precision determination of the top-quark mass to next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD in well-defined renormalization schemes using data from the Large Hadron Collider for single-top and top-quark pair production. We also…
It has been shown that the principle of maximum conformality (PMC) provides a systematic way to solve conventional renormalization scheme and scale ambiguities. The scale-fixed predictions for physical observables using the PMC are…
Precision determinations of the top-quark mass require theory predictions with a well-defined mass parameter in a given renormalization scheme. The top-quark's running mass in the MSbar scheme can be extracted with good precision from the…
A new method to measure the top-quark mass in high energetic hadron collisions is presented. We use theoretical predictions calculated at next-to-leading order accuracy in quantum chromodynamics to study the (normalized) differential…
I briefly overview the methods employed at the LHC to extract the top-quark mass, taking particular care about the theory uncertainty and the dependence on the Monte Carlo hadronization parameters.
Precision top mass measurements at hadron colliders have been notoriously difficult. The fundamental challenge in the current approaches lies in achieving simultaneously high top mass sensitivity and good theoretical control. Inspired by…
The top-quark mass mt is one of the fundamental parameters of the standard model (SM) of particle physics. The CDF and D0 collaborations already performed very precise measurements of mt . Since the ATLAS and CMS collaborations already have…
We study the determination of the top-quark mass using leptonic observables in t-channel single top-quark production at the LHC. We demonstrate sensitivity of transverse momentum of the charged lepton on the input top-quark mass. We present…
Theoretical issues are discussed for the measurement of the top-mass using jets, including perturbative and non-perturbative effects that relate experimental observables to the Lagrangian mass, and appropriate choices for mass schemes. Full…
The top quark mass is a key parameter of the Standard Model, yet measuring it precisely at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is challenging. Inspired by the use of standard candles in cosmology, we propose a novel energy correlator-based…
