Abstract	We describe our recent NNLO QCD extraction of the top-quark pole mass from fits to experimental data on total inclusive and normalized (multi)-differential cross sections for $t\bar{t} + X$ hadroproduction, using as input various modern PDF + $\alpha_s(M_Z)$ sets. We find top-quark mass values compatible among each other and with the PDG 2024 preferred value.

$Comparison of predictions for the invariant mass (left panel) and the rapidity (right panel) distributions of top-quark pairs in $pp \rightarrow t\bar{t} + X$ at $\sqrt{S}$~=~13~TeV obtained by our version of \texttt{MATRIX} with $r_0$~=~0.15\% (orange) and with $r_0$~=~0.05\% (green), with the STRIPPER predictions of Ref.~\cite{Czakon:2016dgf} (blue), here labelled as CHM. The bands refer to numerical uncertainties in the various computations. $r_0$ is a cut-off on $q_T/M(t\bar{t})$, used in $q_T$ subtraction. The exact cross sections correspond to the limit $r_0 \rightarrow 0$ ($q_T \rightarrow 0$).$ $Comparison of predictions for the invariant mass (left panel) and the rapidity (right panel) distributions of top-quark pairs in $pp \rightarrow t\bar{t} + X$ at $\sqrt{S}$~=~13~TeV obtained by our version of \texttt{MATRIX} with $r_0$~=~0.15\% (orange) and with $r_0$~=~0.05\% (green), with the STRIPPER predictions of Ref.~\cite{Czakon:2016dgf} (blue), here labelled as CHM.

The light-blue band in all panels corresponds to the PDG 2024 $m_t^{\rm{pole}}$ value. In the inset in the lowest panel, the best-fit $m_t^{\rm{pole}}$ values from the global fit, together with the data, PDF and scale uncertainties, are reported for each of the considered PDF~+~$\alpha_s(M_Z)$ sets adopted as input.$ Show more plots
