الوصف: Many analyses in high energy physics are limited due to missing kinematic information of known invisible particles in the detector, for example neutrinos. The undetected particle carries away momentum and energy information, preventing the full reconstruction of such an event. In this paper, we present a method to handle this missing information, referred to as the Generalised Known Kinematics (GKK) approach. It is based on constructing event-by-event probability density distributions that describe the physically allowed kinematics of an event. For GKK we take into account the available kinematic information and constraints given by the assumed final state. Summing these event-wise distributions over large data sets allows the determination of parameters that influence the event kinematics, such as particle masses, which are otherwise obscured by the missing information on the invisible final-state particles. The method is demonstrated in simulation studies with $\tau^+ \tau^-$ events in $e^+ e^-$ collisions at the $\Upsilon$(4S) resonance, presenting a new, promising approach for the measurement of the $\tau$ lepton mass.
