Description

I will review some recent strategies for the top quark mass measurement, stressing in particular the foundation of each method on features of the kinematics of top quark production and decay at the Large Hadron Collider. Some of the advantages and drawbacks are discussed; in particular, I will present issues connected with the present status of the event simulations and theoretical calculations needed to carry out these measurements.
