| Abstract: A simultaneous measurement of the top-quark, W-boson, and neutrino masses is reported for $t\bar{t}$ events selected in the dilepton final state from a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 inverse femtobarns collected by the CMS experiment in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$=7 TeV. The analysis is based on endpoint determinations in kinematic distributions. When the neutrino and W-boson masses are constrained to their world-average values, a top-quark mass value of $M_t =173.9 \pm 0.9 (stat.) ^{+1.7}_{-2.1}$ (syst.) GeV is obtained. When such constraints are not used, the three particle masses are obtained in a simultaneous fit. In this unconstrained mode the study serves as a test of mass determination methods that may be used in beyond standard model physics scenarios where several masses in a decay chain may be unknown and undetected particles lead to underconstrained kinematics. | ||
