Abstract:
A measurement of the top-quark mass is presented using the distribution of the invariant mass mlb of the lepton and the b-quark originating from top-quark decays. The analysed dataset of pp-collisions at a centre-of-mass energy √s=8 TeV was recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC, and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb−1. Top-quark pair candidate events are selected with two opposite-charge isolated leptons, one electron and one muon, and at least two jets in the final state.Using the mlb shape prediction from MadGraph a top-quark mass of .3\pm1.3GeVisobtained,consistentwithpreviousmeasurementsandwiththeworldaverage.Inaddition,astudyispresentedinwhichtheshapeand/ornormalisationofthemeasuredm_{lb}$ distribution are used to extract the top-quark mass using different theory predictions, the MadGraph simulation as well as a fixed-order QCD calculation.
