DESCRIPTION:Recently\, the CMS experiment at the LHC made a measurement of
  the top quark mass in the dilepton channel using the endpoints of kinemat
 ic distributions\, including MT2.  In addition to the top quark mass\, thi
 s method was applied to simultaneously measure the top quark\, W boson and
  neutrino masses.  Since dileptonic ttbar has a topology similar to new ph
 ysics\, the measurement is a testing ground for determining the masses of 
 beyond the Standard Model particles.  Furthermore\, the variables used in 
 the study are well-suited for new physics searches and thus many analyses 
 are utilizing their separation power.
