Transverse mass
text:
The transverse mass is a useful quantity to define for use in particle physics as it is invariant under Lorentz boost along the z direction. In natural units, it is: where the z-direction is along the beam pipe and so p x and p y are the momentum perpendicular to the beam pipe and m is the (invariant) mass. This definition of the transverse mass is used in conjunction with the definition of the (directed) transverse energy with the transverse momentum vector p → T = . It is easy to see that for
