Top differential cross section measurements (Tevatron)
Differential cross sections in the top quark sector measured at the Fermilab
Tevatron collider are presented. CDF used 2.7 fb of data and measured
the differential cross section as a function of the invariant mass of the
system. The measurement shows good agreement with the standard model
and furthermore is used to derive limits on the ratio for
gravitons which decay to top quarks in the Randall-Sundrum model. D0 used 1.0
fb$^{-1} of data to measure the differential cross section as a function of the
transverse momentum of the top quark. The measurement shows a good agreement to
the higher order perturbative QCD prediction and various predictions based on
various Monte-Carlo generators.Comment: To appear in the Proceedings of TOP2011, 4th International Workshop
