trailShower-cutoff and hadronization effects shift the NLO+PS top-quark mass parameter only by amounts of order Lambda_QCD
The Monte Carlo top-quark mass equals the pole mass to within a few hundred MeV
Angular-ordered parton showers with an infrared cutoff produce a generator quark mass that is a cutoff-dependent short-distance mass, not the pole mass
The Monte Carlo top-quark mass lacks a precise field-theoretic definition
Quantitative infrared-sensitivity studies· for
The parton-shower infrared cutoff makes the generator top-quark mass a short-distance mass differing from the pole mass by roughly half a GeV
The top-quark pole mass has an intrinsic renormalon ambiguity of roughly 110 to 250 MeV
The short-distance interpretation of the generator top-quark mass has not been established for pT-ordered dipole parton showers
Calibration studies find the Monte Carlo top-quark mass agrees with the MSR mass at 1 GeV within about 200 MeV
