    Description

    There are a number of conceptual questions concerning the measurement of the top quark mass that are still unanswered, but which are important given the current top mass uncertainty of only 1.3 GeV. These questions are related to color neutralization and the finite lifetime of the top quark. Some of these problems can be addressed in the framework of e+e-colliders. I explain what these results teach us about the top mass parameter in the MonteCarlo generators that are used in the Tevatron and the LHC analyses.
