Latest results on differential cross sections as a function of kinematic variables at the LHC and Tevatron

An overview of recent measurements of differential top quark pair ($t\bar{t}$) production cross sections is presented, including results in boosted topologies and results both at parton and particle level. The first measurements of differential single top quark t-channel production cross sections in proton-proton collisions are as well presented. The results are obtained using data collected with the CMS and ATLAS experiments in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 TeV and 8 TeV. References to the latest results by the Tevatron experiments are also given. The data are compared with several predictions from perturbative QCD calculations up to approximate next-to-next-to-leading-order precision (approx. NNLO)
