The measurements are performed in the lepton+jets (e/mu+jets) and in the dilepton (e(+)e(-), mu(+)mu(-), and e(+/-)mu(-/+)) decay channels. The t (t) over bar cross section is measured as a function of the kinematic properties of the charged leptons, the jets associated to b quarks, the top quarks, and the t (t) over bar system. The data are compared with several predictions from perturbative quantum chromodynamic up to approximate next-to-next-to-leading-order precision. No significant deviations are observed relative to the standard model predictions.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess[Keyword Not Available]Article751126640401Q1WOS:000365327800001Q110.1140/epjc/s10052-015-3709-x
