Description

Recently, CMS measured top-quark mass very precisely in a dl-leptonic channel with the method which we invented for a new physics search at the LHC called one-dimensional decomposed MT2. Di-leptonic ttbar channel has a common feature with SUSY type signatures which have a missing transverse energy coming from a dark matter candidate. The very important lesson that we've learned from CMS analysis is that this new technique is very robust at the LHC. In this talk, I will explain the basic concept of the method that CMS used. I also will present a way to expand this technique for the various new physics searches at the LHC, which was presented in arXiv:1212.1720[hep-ph]
