Description
Measurements of the differential top quark pair production cross sections in proton-proton collisions
with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider are presented. The measurements are performed
requiring one electron or muon in the final state and are carried out differentially in the reconstructed
top transverse momentum and the invariant mass, rapidity and transverse momentum of the top pair system.
This measurement probes our understanding of top pair production in the TeV regime and is compared to recent
Monte Carlo generators implementing LO and NLO matrix elements matched with parton showers and NLO QCD calculations.
The data show sensitivity to parton density functions.
