Description
I discuss the interpretation of the top-quark mass measurements, which rely on the use of Monte Carlo parton showers, in terms of theoretical definitions, such as the pole mass. I also debate the role played by non-perturbative effects, namely colour reconnection and bottom-quark hadronization, in the top-mass determination and present preliminary results, based on the simulation of fictitious top-flavoured hadrons, which may help to shed light on the theoretical uncertainty.
