Sumario:Normalized differential cross-section are measured with respect to the transverse momentum of the hadronically decaying top quark, and with respect to the mass, transverse momentum, and rapidity of the top-quark pair system. This measurement is performed with data collected by the ATLAS detector at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. The top-quark pair is reconstructed in the lepton+jets channel using a kinematic likelihood fitter and Tikhonov regularization (SVD) is used to correct the measured distribution to parton level. The final results are compared with Monte Carlo generators, theoretical predictions, and predictions using different PDF sets.
