Measurements of the Top Quark Pair-Production Cross Section

Abstract

Measurements of the inclusive and differential cross section for the production of top quark pairs in proton-(anti)proton collision at center-of-mass energies of 1.96, 7.0 and 8.0 TeV are presented and compared with the latest theory predictions and Monte-Carlo models. In addition, first measurements of the production of top quark pairs in association with additional jets or with a boson are highlighted. All measurements are in good agreement with the Standard Model.
