Pinning down the large-x gluon with NNLO top-quark pair differential distributions

Abstract Top-quark pair production at the LHC is directly sensitive to the gluon PDF at large x. While total cross-section data is already included in several PDF determinations, differential distributions are not, because the corresponding NNLO calculations have become available only recently. In t...
