Various differential cross-sections are measured in top-quark pair

. The differential cross-sections are presented in terms of kinematic variables, such as momentum, rapidity and invariant mass, of a top-quark proxy referred to as the pseudo-top-quark as well as the pseudo-top-quark pair system. The dependence of the measurement on theoretical models is minimal.
The measurements are performed on

¯
events in the lepton+jets channel, requiring exactly one charged lepton and at least four jets with at least two of them tagged as originating from a
b
-quark. The hadronic and leptonic pseudo-top-quarks are defined via the leptonic or hadronic decay mode of the
W
boson produced by the top-quark decay in events with a single charged lepton. Differential cross-section measurements of the pseudo-top-quark variables are compared with several Monte Carlo models that implement next-to-leading order or leading-order multi-leg matrix-element calculations.
