The analysis is based on endpoint determinations in kinematic distributions. When the neutrino and W-boson masses are constrained to their world-average values, a top-quark mass value of M[t] = 173.9 +/- 0.9 (stat.) +1.7/-2.1 (syst.) GeV is obtained. When such constraints are not used, the three particle masses are obtained in a simultaneous fit. In this unconstrained mode the study serves as a test of mass determination methods that may be used in beyond standard model physics scenarios where several masses in a decay chain may be unknown and undetected particles lead to underconstrained kinematics.engMeasurement of masses in the $t \bar{t}$ system by kinematic endpoints in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeVjournal article2019-02-03
