Measurement of Double-Differential Cross Sections for Top Quark Pair Production in Pp Collisions at √s = 8 TeV and Impact on Parton Distribution Functions

Normalized double-differential cross sections for top quark pair (t[bar over t]) production are measured in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV with the CMS experiment at the LHC. The analyzed data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb[superscript -1]. The measurement is pe...
