Description
We provide a quantitative interpretation for direct top quark mass measurements in terms of a field-theoretic mass scheme. A relation between the top quark mass parameter in Monte Carlo generators and the MSR mass at a scale of R = 3 GeV is derived. This is achieved by fitting Monte Carlo templates for the simulated jet mass distribution of large-radius jets containing a hadronically-decaying top quark of large transverse momentum with a first-principles, hadron level calculation at NNLL accuracy. The result confirms that the MC mass parameter is numerically close to the MSR and pole masses.
