Abstract

An overview of recent measurements of differential top quark pair (ttˉt\bar{t}) production cross sections is presented, including results in boosted topologies and results both at parton and particle level. The first measurements of differential single top quark t-channel production cross sections in proton-proton collisions are as well presented. The results are obtained using data collected with the ATLAS and CMS experiments in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 TeV and 8 TeV. References to the latest results by the Tevatron experiments are also given. The data are compared with several predictions from perturbative QCD calculations up to approximate next-to-next-to-leading-order precision (approx. NNLO).
