Measurements of top-quark pair differential and double-differential cross-sections in the $\ell $ +jets channel with pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV using the ATLAS detector
Description
Single- and double-differential cross-section measurements are presented for the production of top-quark pairs, in the lepton + jets channel at particle and parton level. Two topologies, resolved and boosted, are considered and the results are presented as a function of several kinematic variables characterising the top and $t\overline{t}$ system and jet multiplicities. The study was performed using data from pp collisions at centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV collected in 2015 and 2016 by the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $36\phantom{\rule{3.33333pt}{0ex}}{\mathrm{fb}}^{-1}$ . Due to the large $t\overline{t}$ cross-section at the LHC, such measurements allow a detailed study of the properties of top-quark production and decay, enabling precision tests of several Monte Carlo generators and fixed-order Standard Model predictions. Overall, there is good agreement between the theoretical predictions and the data.
