Differential top quark cross section results from the ATLAS and CMS experiments

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: This report summarizes recent results of differential top quark cross section measurements performed by the ATLAS and CMS experiments. The production of a pair of top quarks is studied as well as the single (anti-)top quark production and the interference with other Standard Model (SM) processes with the same final state. State-of-the-art theory predictions are compared to the data. No theory model is able to describe the data across all bins, but an improved description of the data when moving to predictions in higher orders in perturbative Quantum Chromo Dynamics (QCD) can be observed.
