Rapidity

•  Particle physicists prefer to use modified rapidity along beam axis

Transverse variables •  At hadron colliders, a significant and unknown fraction of the beam

energy in each event escapes down the beam pipe.

•  Net momentum can only be constrained in the plane transverse to the beam z-axis!

Missing transverse energy and tranaverse mass •  If invisible particle are created, only their transverse momentum can be

constrained: missing transverse energy

•  If a heavy particle is produced and decays in two particles one of which is invisible, the mass of the parent particle can constrained with the transverse mass quantity
