Measurement of differential $\mathrm{t\bar{t}}$ production cross sections using top quarks at large transverse momenta in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV
Phys. Rev. D 103 (2021) 052008
Abstract: A measurement is reported of differential top quark pair ($\mathrm{t\bar{t}}$) production cross sections, where top quarks are produced at large transverse momenta. The data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC are from pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$. The measurement uses events where at least one top quark decays as $\mathrm{t} \to \mathrm{W} \mathrm{b} \to \mathrm{q} \mathrm{\bar{q}}' \mathrm{b}$ and is reconstructed as a large-radius jet with transverse momentum in excess of 400 GeV. The second top quark is required to decay either in a similar way, or leptonically, as inferred from a reconstructed electron or muon, a bottom quark jet, and a missing transverse momentum due to the undetected neutrino. The cross section is extracted as a function of kinematic variables of individual top quarks or of the $\mathrm{t\bar{t}}$ system. The results are presented at the particle level, within a region of phase space close to that of the experimental acceptance, and at the parton level, and are compared to various theoretical models. In both decay channels the observed absolute cross sections are significantly lower than the predictions from theory, while the normalized differential measurements are well described.

Summary
A measurement was presented of the top quark pair ($\mathrm{t\bar{t}}$) cross section for top quarks with high transverse momentum (${p_{\mathrm{T}}}$) produced in pp collisions at 13 TeV. The measurement uses events in which either one or both top quarks decay to jets, and where the decay products cannot be resolved but are instead clustered in a single large-radius ($R$) jet with ${p_{\mathrm{T}}} > $ 400 GeV. The all-jet final state contains two such large-$R$ jets, while the lepton+jets final state is identified through the presence of an electron or muon, a b-tagged jet, missing transverse momentum from the escaping neutrino, and a single t-tagged, large-$R$ jet. The measurement utilizes a larger data set relative to previous results to explore a wider phase space of $\mathrm{t\bar{t}}$ production and to elucidate any discrepancies with theory that were reported in previous publications. For the all-jet channel, absolute and normalized differential cross sections are measured as functions of the leading and subleading top quark ${p_{\mathrm{T}}}$ and absolute rapidity $|y|$, and as a function of the invariant mass, ${p_{\mathrm{T}}}$, and $y$ of the $\mathrm{t\bar{t}}$ system, unfolded to the particle level within a fiducial phase space and to the parton level. For the lepton+jets channel, the differential cross sections are measured as functions of the ${p_{\mathrm{T}}}$ and $|y|$ of the top quark that decays according to $\mathrm{t} \to \mathrm{W} \mathrm{b} \to \mathrm{q} \mathrm{\bar{q}}' \mathrm{b}$, both at the particle and parton levels. The results are compared with theory using the POWHEG matrix element generator, interfaced to either PYTHIA or HERWIG++ for the underlying event and parton showering, and with the MadGraph5+MCatNLO matrix element generator, interfaced to PYTHIA. All the models significantly exceed the absolute cross section in the phase spaces of the measurements. However, the normalized differential cross sections are consistently well described. The most notable discrepancies are observed in the invariant mass of the $\mathrm{t\bar{t}}$ system and the subleading top quark ${p_{\mathrm{T}}}$ in the all-jet channel, where theory predicts a higher cross section at high mass and at high ${p_{\mathrm{T}}}$, respectively. To further investigate the severity of this discrepancy, more data are needed to enhance the statistical significance of the measurement in this region of phase space.
