Measurement of the $t$-channel single top-quark and top-antiquark differential cross-sections in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 8~\textrm{TeV}$ with the ATLAS detector

Abstract

In this document, differential cross-section measurements of $t$-channel single top-quark production are presented. 20.2fb$^{-1}$ of data collected by the ATLAS experiment in proton-proton collisions in the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of 8TeV are used. Differential cross-sections as a function of the transverse momentum and rapidity of both the top quark and the top antiquark have been measured at both parton and particle level. The transverse momentum and rapidity differential cross-sections of the scattered light-quark jet have been measured at particle level. All measurements are compared to different Monte Carlo predictions as well as to available fixed-order QCD calculations.
