Description

Differential cross­section measurements of t­channel single top­quark production are presented. They use 20.2 fb−1 of data collected by the ATLAS experiment in proton–proton collisions in the LHC at a centre­of­mass energy of 8 TeV. Differential cross­sections as a function of the transverse momentum and rapidity of both the top quark and the top antiquark have been measured at both parton and particle level. The transverse momentum and rapidity differential cross­sections of the scattered light jet have been measured at particle level. All measurements are compared to different Monte Carlo predictions as well as to available fixed­order QCD calculations.
