We revisit mass determination techniques for the minimum symmetric eventtopology, namely $X$ pair production followed by $X \to \ell N$, where $X$ and$N$ are unknown particles with the masses to be measured, and $N$ is aninvisible particle, concentrating on the case where $X$ is pair produced from aresonance. We consider separate scenarios, with different initial constraintson the invisible particle momenta, and present a systematic method to identifythe kinematically allowed mass regions in the $(m_N, m_X)$ plane. These allowedregions exhibit a cusp structure at the true mass point, which is equivalent tothe one observed in the $m_{T2}$ endpoints in certain cases. By considering theboundary of the allowed mass region we systematically define kinematicalvariables which can be used in measuring the unknown masses, and find a newexpression for the $m_{T2}$ variable as well as its inverse. We explicitlyapply our method to the case that $X$ is pair produced from a resonance, and asa case study, we consider the process $pp \to A \to \tilde \chi_1^+ \tilde\chi_1^-$, followed by $\tilde \chi_1^\pm \to \ell^{\pm} \, \tilde \nu_{\ell}$,in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model and show that our method providesa precise measurement of the chargino and sneutrino masses, $m_X$ and $m_N$, at$14 \, \mathrm{TeV}$ LHC with $300 \, \mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ luminosity.
