Description

The measurements of top quark pair inclusive and differential cross sections cross sections are compared with different higher-order QCD predictions. Among other studies, the data allow for tests and determinations of QCD-parameters, such as those related to the scales for renormalization and factorization and for the matching between the matrix-element and parton-shower level. The top-quark mass and the strong coupling constant from the top-quark production rate can also be determined.
