Precision measurement of the cross section for single top production is an important test of the Standard Model (SM). The purity of the collected data in single top events is limited by the understanding of the shape and yield of background…
Soft QCD contributes to all observables at the LHC, due to the presences of underlying event (UE) and pile-up in all events. Both these processes are dominated by multi-parton interactions (MPI), i.e. the result of proton collisions…
