We introduce a variable useful for measuring masses of particles pair
produced at hadron colliders, where each particle decays to one particle that
is directly observable and another particle whose existence can only be
inferred from missing transverse momenta. This variable is closely related to
the transverse mass variable commonly used for measuring the \$W\$ mass at hadron
colliders, and like the transverse mass our variable extracts masses in a
reasonably model independent way. Without considering either backgrounds or
measurement errors we consider how our variable would perform measuring the
mass of selectrons in a mSUGRA SUSY model at the LHC.
