Measurement of the -channel single top-quark and top-antiquark differential cross-sections in collisions at with the ATLAS detector
In this document, differential cross-section measurements of -channel
single top-quark production are presented. 20.2fb 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.Comment: TOP2016 conferenc

The importance of gender-equality and of womenâs work in relation to the environment are considered to be crucial questions for development in âthird worldâ rural societies. âDevelopmentâ and a certain standard of welfare make these issues appear to be less urgent in a wealthier country like Sweden. In this paper I trace some of the contradictions and connections in the ways in which gender equality is conceptualised in womenâs struggles vis ĂĄ vis environmental issues in rural areas in Sweden and India. The paper throws light on two important insights: first, that in Sweden where gender equality has been actively pursued as the bedrock of modern societal organizing, the space to organize as women in relation to environmental issues was hedged around with ambiguities. Second, development discourses about equality and empowerment of oppressed third world women bear not only on how gender equality is conceptualised and practiced in the South but also shape the space for gender equality in the North. Analysing the two cases in relation to each other reveals the travel of ideas and conversations across distances. While ideas about the independent, empowered woman are used to deny agency to womenâs collectives in India, gendered discrimination has taken different forms in Sweden, making it more difficult to contest. Understanding how this takes place opens an opportunity for interruption in an order and in a space that appears to have become narrower under the umbrella of development, welfare, and growth. It brings into question the category of development both in a Southern but especially so in a Northern context where the North and especially Sweden is taken as referent for questions of development and gender equality
