Measurement of the charged-current Drell-Yan single- and double-differential cross-sections at high transverse masses at = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector

Differential cross-sections are measured for top-quark pair production in the all-hadronic decay mode, using proton--proton collision events collected by the ATLAS experiment in which all six decay jets are separately resolved. Absolute and normalised single- and double-differential cross-sections are measured at particle and parton level as a function of various kinematic variables. Emphasis is placed on well-measured observables in fully-reconstructed final states, as well as on the study of correlations between the top-quark pair system and additional jet radiation identified in the event. The study is performed using data from proton--proton collisions at

. The rapidities of the individual top quarks and of the top-quark pair are well modelled. Significant mismodelling is observed in the transverse momenta of the leading three jet emissions, while the leading top-quark transverse momentum and top-quark pair transverse momentum are both found to be incompatible with several theoretical predictions.
