Interpretation Problem

This review provides an overview of the conceptual issues regarding the interpretation of so-called direct top quark mass measurements, which are based on the kinematic reconstruction of top quark decay products at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). These measurements quote the top mass parameter [Formula: see text] of Monte Carlo event generators with current uncertainties of around 0.5 GeV. The problem of finding a rigorous relation between [Formula: see text] and top mass renormalization schemes defined in field theory is unresolved to date and touches perturbative as well as nonperturbative aspects and the limitations of state-of-the-art Monte Carlo event generators. I review the status of LHC top mass measurements, illustrate how conceptual limitations enter the picture, and explain a controversy that has permeated the community in the context of the interpretation problem related to [Formula: see text]. I then summarize recent advances in acquiring first principles insights and outline what else has to be understood to fully resolve the issue. I conclude with recommendations on how to deal with the interpretation problem for the time being when making top mass–dependent theoretical predictions.

Top Mass

I modify the calculation of the QCD correction factors in the ΔS = 2 effective Lagrangian for [Formula: see text] mixing to allow top quark masses in the range 50 GeV to 200 GeV. I give constraints on the top mass and Kobayashi-Maskawa phase, determined from the measured [Formula: see text] mixing parameter ε, and find that the factor BK and the ratio |Vub/Vcb| cannot both be smalI if mt < 200 GeV .

Top Mass

In this review I summarize the results obtained by CDF on top physics. After the discovery of the top quark, the efforts were concentrated on obtaining precision measurements of the observables. A description of the algorithms developed and used to isolate top in various samples is given, together with the discussion of background and selection strategies followed. The measurements of top mass and [Formula: see text] production cross section are discussed in detail and studies related to top decays and kinematics of [Formula: see text] events are presented.

Top Mass

Concentrating on the impact of the very recent top quark discovery, we perform a combined analysis of two strongest constraints on the two-Higgs doublet model, one coming from the recent measurement by CLEO on the inclusive branching ratio of b→sγ decay and the other from the recent LEP data on [Formula: see text] decay. We have included the model predictions for one-loop vertex corrections to [Formula: see text] through εb. We find that the εb constraint excludes most of the less appealing window: tan β≲1 at 95% C.L. for the measured top mass mt=176±8±10 GeV from CDF. Moreover, it excludes tan β≲2 at 95% C.L. for mt≳176 GeV; combined with the b→sγ constraint, only very heavy charged Higgs (≳670 GeV) is allowed by the measured mt from CDF.
