The inclusive cross section for top-quark pair production measured by the CMS experiment in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV is compared to the QCD prediction at next-to-next-to-leading order with various parton distribution functions to determine the top-quark pole mass, mtpole, or the strong coupling constant, alphaS. With the parton distribution function set NNPDF2.3, a pole mass of 176.7 +3.0 -2.8 GeV is obtained when constraining alphaS at the scale of the Z boson mass, mZ, to the current world average. Alternatively, by constraining mtpole to the latest average from direct mass measurements, a value of alphaS(mZ) = 0.1151 +0.0028 -0.0027 is extracted. This is the first determination of alphaS using events from top-quark production.

  1. Parton distributions confront LHC Run II data: a quantitative appraisal

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A systematic NNLO data-theory comparison shows that the main PDF sets generalise to unseen LHC and HERA data about equally well once PDF, alpha_s, and missing higher order uncertainties are included.

  2. The Higgs boson through the lens of electroweak precision data

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    Updated Gfitter EW fit with new MW average yields SM-consistent indirect observables and, via kappa_V from oblique parameters plus LHC signal strengths, determines Gamma_H to ~10% precision under leading-log assumptions.

  3. Determination of the strong coupling and its running from measurements of inclusive jet production

    hep-ex 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A NNLO QCD fit to CMS inclusive jet cross sections at 2.76, 7, 8 and 13 TeV plus HERA DIS yields alphaS(mZ) = 0.1176 (+0.0014, -0.0016) and confirms the predicted running of the strong coupling up to 1.6 TeV.
