Description

I present new theoretical results at approximate N$^3$LO for double-differential distributions in top-quark transverse momentum and rapidity. The higher-order corrections are from NNLL resummation of soft-gluon contributions. The corrections are very significant and they reduce theoretical uncertainties. The theoretical predictions are in very good agreement with recent LHC data.
