Abstract
Kinematic reconstruction of top quarks allows to define a
set of kinematic observables relevant to various physics processes
that involve top quarks and provides an additional handle for the
suppression of background events. Radiation of photons in
association with the top quarks alters the kinematics and the
topology of the event, leading to visible systematic effects in
measurable observables. The present study introduces an improved
reconstruction of the top quark kinematics in the presence of photon
radiation. The results are presented for processes with top quark
pair production, as well as for singly-produced top quarks.
