Description
Normalised differential top-quark pair production cross sections are measured in pp collisions at 8 TeV using the decay channels into two opposite-sign leptons (muons or electrons). The analysed dataset was recorded in 2012 and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 12.2/fb. The tt cross section is measured differentially as a function of kinematic observables of the final state leptons, jets associated to b quarks, and the top quarks. A particle level definition of the top quark (pseudotop) is presented and the particle level tt cross-section is measured differentially as a function of the pseudotop quarks and pseudo-ttbar system
