Measurement of the top-quark pole mass in dileptonic tt[bar]+ 1-jet events at √s=13 TeV with the ATLAS experiment
A measurement of the top-quark pole mass m t pole is presented in tt̄ events with an additional jet, tt̄+ 1-jet, produced in pp collisions at √s=13 TeV. The data sample, recorded with the ATLAS experiment during Run 2 of the LHC, corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1. Events with one e...

| Summary: | A measurement of the top-quark pole mass m t pole is presented in tt̄ events with an additional jet, tt̄+ 1-jet, produced in pp collisions at √s=13 TeV. The data sample, recorded with the ATLAS experiment during Run 2 of the LHC, corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1. Events with one electron and one muon of opposite electric charge in the final state are selected to measure the tt̄+ 1-jet differential cross-section as a function of the inverse of the invariant mass of the tt̄+ 1-jet system. Iterative Bayesian Unfolding is used to correct the data to enable comparison with fixed-order calculations at next-to-leading-order accuracy in the strong coupling. The process pp →tt̄j (2→3), where top quarks are taken as stable particles, and the process pp → bb̄l+pp → bb̄l+vl̄ ν̄j (2 → 7), which includes top-quark decays to the dilepton final state and off-shell effects, are considered. The top-quark mass is extracted using a χ2 fit of the unfolded normalized differential cross-section distribution. The results obtained with the 2 → 3 and 2 → 7 calculations are compatible within theoretical uncertainties, providing an important consistency check. The more precise determination is obtained for the 2 → 3 measurement: m t pole = 70.7±0.3 (stat.)±1.4 (syst.)±0.3 (scale)±0.2 (PDF⊕αS) GeV, which is in good agreement with other top-quark mass results. |
