Measuring the running Top quark mass
Ulrich Langenfeld, Sven-Olaf Moch, and Peter Uwer
TL;DR
This paper discusses issues in current top quark mass measurements at the Tevatron and proposes a theoretically cleaner method to determine the top-quark's running mass using cross section data.
Contribution
It introduces an alternative approach to measure the top quark's running mass directly from cross section measurements, addressing conceptual problems of existing methods.
Findings
Current mass measurements face conceptual issues.
Proposed method offers a cleaner theoretical determination.
Potential for more accurate top quark mass measurement.
Abstract
In this contribution we discuss conceptual issues of current mass measurements performed at the Tevatron. In addition we propose an alternative method which is theoretically much cleaner and to a large extend free from the problems encountered in current measurements. In detail we discuss the direct determination of the top-quark's running mass from the cross section measurements performed at the Tevatron.
