Description
Measurements of the top-quark pair differential cross-section with respect to global distributions including missing transverse energy, scalar sum of jet transverse momenta, scalar sum of total event scalar sum, leptonic W boson transverse momentum and leptonic W boson transverse mass have been carried out on 19.7fb-1 of data at 8TeV obtained from the CMS detector at the LHC. After a tight selection, signal and background templates are fitted to data and the resulting number of signal events is unfolded to the true distribution using the Singular Value Decomposition method. The differential cross-section calculation produces results which were found to be consistent with Monte Carlo simulation. This study complements a previous study with respect to missing transverse energy on 5.1fb-1 of data at 7TeV. A combined measurement on 7TeV and 8TeV data is currently in progress and is expected to be completed shortly.
