Measurement of the differential cross section for t-channel single-top-quark production at 13 TeV
The production of single top quarks is a cornerstone in understanding the nature of the heaviest known elementary particle and its involvement in electroweak interactions. An early differential cross section measurement of t-channel single-top-quark production is presented. Collision data at a cente...

| description | The production of single top quarks is a cornerstone in understanding the nature of the heaviest known elementary particle and its involvement in electroweak interactions. An early differential cross section measurement of t-channel single-top-quark production is presented. Collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV collected in 2015 were analyzed, corresponding to 2.3$fb^{-1}$. The amount of signal events as a function of the top quark transverse momentum and rapidity is estimated by multiple fits using a multivariate discriminant. The results are unfolded to parton level and compared to predictions by various Monte-Carlo generators. |
