| Abstract: Normalized differential cross sections for top quark pair production are measured in the dilepton ($\mathrm{ e }^{+}\mathrm{ e }^{-}$, $\mu^{+}\mu^{-}$, and $\mu^{\mp}\mathrm{ e }^{\pm}$) decay channels in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The measurements are performed with data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.1 fb$^{-1}$ using the CMS detector at the LHC. The cross sections are measured differentially as a function of the kinematic properties of the leptons, jets from bottom quark hadronization, top quarks, and top quark pairs at the particle and parton levels. The results are compared to several Monte Carlo generators that implement calculations up to next-to-leading order in perturbative quantum chromodynamics interfaced with parton showering, and also to fixed-order theoretical calculations of top quark pair production up to next-to-next-to-leading order. | ||

The signal definition for particle level is considered to distinguish $ {\mathrm{ t } {}\mathrm{ \bar{t} } } $-signal and $ {\mathrm{ t } {}\mathrm{ \bar{t} } } $-others. All corrections described in the text are applied to the simulation. The last bin includes the overflow events. The uncertainties shown by the vertical bars on the data points are statistical only while the hatched band shows the combined statistical and systematic uncertainties added in quadrature. The lower panels display the ratios of the data to the MC prediction. |

| Summary |
| The normalized differential cross sections for top quark pair production have been presented by the CMS experiment in the dilepton decay channel in pp collisions at $ \sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV with data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.1 fb$^{-1}$. The differential cross sections are measured as a function of several kinematic variables at particle level in a visible phase space corresponding to the detector acceptance and at parton level in the full phase space. The measurements are compared to the predictions from Monte Carlo simulations and calculations in perturbative quantum chromodynamics. In general, the measurements are in fairly good agreement with predictions. We confirm that the top quark $ p_{\mathrm{T}} $ spectrum in data is softer than the Monte Carlo predictions at both particle and parton levels, as reported by the ATLAS and CMS experiments. The present results are in agreement with the earlier ATLAS and CMS measurements. We also find that the measurements are in better agreement with calculations within quantum chromodynamics up to next-to-next-to-leading-order accuracy at the parton level compared to previous next-to-leading-order predictions. |
