Inclusive and differential results of top quark pair production from the ATLAS and CMS experiments

Abstract

This report summarizes recent results of inclusive and differential $\mathrm{t}\bar{\mathrm{t}}$ cross section measurements from the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations at the LHC. Measurements at $\sqrt{s}=7,8,13$, and $13.6$TeV are compared to state-of-the-art theory predictions, using different PDF sets, matrix element calculations, or parton shower models. No significant disagreement of a single inclusive measurement is found, with an overall trend towards lower values. For the differential measurements, no theory model is able to describe the data across all bins.
