Measurement of tW differential cross-sections with ATLAS at 13 TeV

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2018-09-06 v1

Abstract

The cross-section to produce a WW boson in association with a top quark is measured differentially with respect to several particle-level final-state observable quantities. The measurements are performed using 36.136.1~\mbox{fb1^{-1}} of pppp collision data at s=13 TeV\sqrt{s}=13~\mathrm{TeV} collected in 2015 and 2016, by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Cross-sections are measured in a fiducial phase-space defined by the presence of two charged leptons and exactly one jet identified as containing BB hadrons. Measurements are normalised to the fiducial cross-section, causing several of the main uncertainties to cancel. The results are found to be in good agreement with predictions from several Monte Carlo generators.
