Description
Periodic open meeting of the TOP LHC Working Group.

The first day, Wednesday May 21, will be dedicated to the measurement of the top mass, in the format of a miniworkshop, with a specific focus on the discussion of the theoretical systematics, the theoretical interpretation, and of ideas/proposals for new mtop measurements at the LHC. The allotted time per talk includes discussion.

Vidyo will be available
