Description
The top quark mass plays a fundamental role in verifying the stability of the Higgs vacuum. A more precise measurement allows us to determine whether the Universe is in a stable state or if it is destined, in the distant future, to decay. For this reason, high-precision measurements of the top quark mass are central to the scientific programs of present and future colliders. One of the primary goals of the CERN Future Circular Collider project, in its e+ e- phase (FCC-ee), is to achieve a highly precise determination of this parameter. This contribution presents some of the most recent feasibility studies for measuring the top quark mass through a threshold scan in collisions, which represent the starting point for my Master’s thesis work.
