Measurement of the top quark mass using a profile likelihood approach with the lepton + jets final states in proton–proton collisions at √𝑠 = 13 TeV by Tumasyan, A., Adam, W., Andrejkovic, J. W., Bergauer, T., Chatterjee, S., Damanakis, K., Dragicevic, M., Del Valle, A. E., Hussain, P. S., Jeitler, M., Krammer, N., Lechner, L., Liko, D., Mikulec, I., Paulitsch, P., Pitters, F. M., Schieck, J., Schöfbeck, R., Schwarz, D., Sonawane, M.

“…For each event, the mass is reconstructed from a kinematic fit of the decay products to a top quark pair hypothesis. A profile likelihood method is applied using up to four observables per event to extract the top quark mass. …”
