Abstract

We create Monte Carlo sample events for the process $e^{+}$ $e^{-}$ →Z→tt¯→b $μ^{+}$ $v_{μ}$ b¯e-v $¯_{e}$ , hadronized in two different ways. Events are studied for possible top-quark masses from 20 to 43 GeV. We demonstrate a method for determining the top-quark mass from the resulting jet data, and compare the differences in observable jet quantities resulting from the different methods of hadronization.
