5. Strictly the method outlined here is an extension of the method used in 1 since they were working on one Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) event for which the (Formula presented) was not known and as such had two additional missing variables.

8. We use Eichten-Hinchliffe-Lane-Quigg (EHLQ) set I structure functions for this calculation. The results are largely insensitive to the structure function type.
9. The standard deviation of the likelihood is an approximate measure of the error in the top quark mass, which becomes more accurate as the likelihood distribution becomes more Gaussian. We use it here, since it is readily calculated.
