| Summary: | Differential and double-differential cross sections for the production of top quark pairs in proton-proton
collisions at 13 TeV are measured as a function of jet multiplicity and of kinematic variables of the top
quarks and the top quark-antiquark system. This analysis is based on data collected by the CMS experiment
at the LHC corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.3 fb−1. The measurements are performed in the
lepton þ jets decay channels with a single muon or electron in the final state. The differential cross sections
are presented at particle level, within a phase space close to the experimental acceptance, and at parton level
in the full phase space. The results are compared to several standard model predictions. |
