Top quark pair-production cross-section measurements at LHC
Abstract
Latest results on inclusive top quark pair-production cross sections are presented using protonproton collision data collected at the LHC. The inclusive measurements reach high precision and are compared to the best available theoretical calculations. Differential measurements of the kinematic properties of the top quark production are also discussed. These measurements from ATLAS and CMS experiments probe our understanding of top quark pair production in the 13 TeV regime. The results, unfolded to particle and parton level, are compared to predictions of Monte Carlo generators implementing NLO matrix elements matched with parton showers and NNLO QCD theory calculations.
