Fragmentation uncertainties in hadronic observables for top-quark mass measurements

We study the Monte Carlo uncertainties due to modeling of hadronization and showering in the extraction of the top-quark mass from observables that use exclusive hadronic final states in top decays, such as t→anything+J/ψ or t→anything+(B→charged tracks), where B is a B-hadron. To this end, we inves...
