Differential top quark cross section results from the ATLAS and CMS experiments
Abstract
This report summarizes recent results of differential top quark cross section measurements performed by the ATLAS and CMS experiments. The $t\bar{t}$ process is studied as well as the production of single (anti-)top quarks and the interference with other Standard Model processes of 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 QCD can be observed.
