However, the uncertainty from current direct measurements of the width is nearly 50%. In this paper, a new approach for directly measuring the top-quark width using events away from the resonance peak is presented. The authors, by recasting a recent ATLAS differential cross section measurement, provide the most precise direct measurement of the width. Larak Seminar Room |
