Challenges for precise measurements of properties of (new) particles in LHC experiments: • In reconstructing kinematics of events, difficult to reconstruct jet energy scales accurately. • cf. electron and muon energy-momenta • Often interesting events include missing momenta. • Parton-level c.m. frame unknown from initial-state. • Limited accuracy of PDF. e.g. Reconstruction of energy-momenta of (new) particles is non-trivial.
We propose a class of observables for measurements of properties of a particle (scalar or unpolarized), which decays as Virtues of the new observables • At Leading Order (no cuts, no bkg.): • Use only lepton energy distribution. (indep. of jet obs., missing mom.) • Independent of parent particle velocity, i.e. free from PDF, ISR, etc. • Including cuts and bkg: • A large d.o.f. of the observables allows to reduce/control effects of cuts and backgrounds. • Effects of cuts and bkgcan be kept small and under control.

Slight modification of the leptonic cuts from Asai et al. In particular, lepton angular cuts are replaced by a Lorentz inv. cut GeV. By including this cut in the theoretical prediction , it does not affect the above criteria (1)(2).
