Description
This work presents a new method to measure the top-quark mass
in hadronic collisions. The method uses the
sensitivity of the ttbar+1Jet production on the top-quark mass. In detail we study the R distribution defined as the
ttbar+1Jet normalized differential cross section in the invariant mass
of the total system and calculated at NLO accuracy. We prove that the \R distribution
has a high sensitivity to the top-quark mass. Furthermore we also
investigate and quantify the impact of the dominant theoretical and
experimental uncertainties. The results obtained show, that the method will be competitive
in precision with established approaches and allows a complementary measurement of the top-quark
mass at hadron colliders. We emphasize that in the proposed method the
mass parameter is uniquely defined through one-loop renormalization.
