Top differential cross section measurements (Tevatron)
Abstract
Differential cross sections in the top quark sector measured at the Fermilab Tevatron collider are presented. CDF used 2.7 fb of data and measured the differential cross section as a function of the invariant mass of the system. The measurement shows good agreement with the standard model and furthermore is used to derive limits on the ratio for gravitons which decay to top quarks in the Randall-Sundrum model. D0 used 1.0 fb$^{-1} of data to measure the differential cross section as a function of the transverse momentum of the top quark. The measurement shows a good agreement to the higher order perturbative QCD prediction and various predictions based on various Monte-Carlo generators.
