Sumario:The large number of top quarks produced at the CERN LHC makes it possible to measure the top quark pair production cross-section differentially with respect to different observables. Differential measurements are important for precision tests and comparisons with Monte Carlo simulations and theoretical calculations. Top quark pair production in particular is also an important process to study because it is a large background for many analyses. This presentation gives an overview of ATLAS top quark differential cross-section analyses.
