Susceptibility to bJES uncertainty persists

Disadvantages:

Advantages:Similar sensitivity as mjjj

Less susceptibility to JES ➙ mitigated by similar sensitivity to JES in denominator

Also avoids loss of stats in 2D (/3D) template method

No longer have leptons or neutrinos as probes to top

Increased JES and top quark pT modelling systematics

Disadvantages:

Advantages:No full kinematic event reconstruction required

Presence of leptons + b-tagged jets enough to trigger event (very low backgrounds in dilepton channel)

Technically possible in any channel

Combinatorics not an issue

Analysis strategy ideally suited to scenarios when pairs of parent particles each decay to a partially invisible final state, e.g.

General approach allows for measurement of all three masses – mtop, mW and m𝜈 (or DM rather than neutrinos)
