We introduce a new collider variable, M-CT2, named as constransverse mass. It is a mixture of stransverse mass (M-T2)'' and contransverse mass (M-CT)'' variables, where the usual endpoint structure of M-T2 distribution can be amplified in the M-CT2 basis by a large Jacobian factor which is controlled by a trial missing particle mass. Thus, the M-CT2 projection of events increases our observability to measure several important endpoints from new particle decays, which are usually expected to be buried by irreducible backgrounds with various systematic uncertainties at the LHC. In this paper we explain the phenomenology of endpoint amplification in M-CT2 projection, and describe how one may employ this variable to measure several meaningful mass constraints of new particles.
