Description
A review of top quark mass measurements performed by the CMS Collaboration is presented, covering results obtained using the LHC proton-proton collision data collected at center-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV. It comprises so-called direct measurements using the top quark decay products and profiting from optimized detector calibrations and sophisticated analysis techniques, as well as indirect measurements aiming at a precise interpretation of the measurements in terms of a Lagrangian parameter. Especially recent mass measurements using Lorentz-boosted top quarks are particularly promising, opening a new avenue of measurements based on top quark decay products contained in a single particle jet, with superior prospects for accurate theoretical interpretation.
