Description

The top quark spin information is highly correlated with the final state lepton polarization, making the dileptonic $t\bar{t}$ events good candidates to study quantum entanglement at the LHC. The $t\bar{t}$ momentum reconstruction is a key ingredient to accurately assessing such measurements. I will be comparing the strengths and weaknesses of different top-quark momentum reconstruction methods, including machine learning and analytic approaches.
