Description
Measurements of the inclusive and differential topquark
pair and singletop
production
cross sections in protonproton
collisions with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron
Collider are presented. The inclusive measurements reach high precision and are
compared to the best available theoretical calculations. Differential measurements of the
kinematic properties of the top quark production are also discussed. These
measurements, including results using boosted tops, probe our understanding of top pair
production in the TeV regime. The results, unfolded to particle and parton level, are
compared to Monte Carlo generators implementing LO and NLO matrix elements matched
with parton showers and NLO QCD calculations.
