alternative off-shell
- not comparablemathematicsThat does not conform to classical physics.
Working at next-to-leading order in QCD we show that carefully selected ratios of offshell regions to onshell regions in the reconstructed top and antitop invariant mass spectra are, \emph{independently} of the coupling g#95;#123;tbW#125;, sensitive to the top-quark width.
