ending in an in isible pa icle. The challenge he e is wo-
old, combining he complica ions o a many-body decay

body decay A→BC, he momen um o ei he daugh e in

he ela ionship is less di ec , encoded no in a del a unc ion

Applying his p og am o he measu emen o he op-

by he use o “designe ” kinema ic a iables MT2 [12] and
MCT [26], which, by cons uc ion, add ess p ecisely hese
issues. In his pape we use MT2. Because he ans e se
