| الوصف: | Precision top mass measurements at hadron colliders have been notoriously difficult. The fundamental challenge in the current approaches lies in achieving simultaneously high top mass sensitivity and good theoretical control. Inspired by the use of standard candles in cosmology, we overcome this problem by showing that a single energy correlator-based observable can be constructed that reflects the characteristic angular scales associated with both the $W$-boson and top quark. This gives direct access to the dimensionless quantity $m_{t}/m_{W}$, from which $m_{t}$ can be extracted in a well-defined short-distance mass scheme as a function of the well-known $m_{W}$. A Monte-Carlo-based study is performed to demonstrate the properties of our observable and the statistical feasibility of its extraction from the Run 2 and 3 and High-Luminosity LHC data sets. The resulting $m_t$ has remarkably small uncertainties from hadronization effects and is insensitive to the underlying event and parton distribution functions. Our proposed observable provides a road map for a rich program to achieve a top mass determination at the LHC with record precision.
