Abstract:
A study of the resolved reconstruction of top quark pairs in the e/μ\mu+jets channels and a projection of differential ttˉ\mathrm{t\bar{t}} cross section measurements at the HL-LHC with an integrated luminosity of 3 ab1^{-1} at 14 TeV are presented. The analysis techniques are based on previous measurements of differential ttˉ\mathrm{t\bar{t}} cross sections at 13 TeV. It is shown that such a measurement is feasible at the HL-LHC despite the expected large number of pileup interactions. The precision of the differential cross section will profit from the enormous amount of data and the extended η\eta-range of the Phase-2 CMS detector. The results are used to estimate the improvement of constraints on parton distribution functions.
