Measurement of the forward top pair production cross-section in the dilepton channel

Experiment: LHCB (LHC)

Inspire ID: 1662483

Status: VALIDATED

Authors: - Stephen Farry

References: - JHEP 08 (2018) 174 - arXiv: hep-ex/1803.05188 - LHCB-PAPER-2017-050, CERN-EP-2018-022

Beams: p+ p+

Beam energies: (6500.0, 6500.0)GeV

Run details: - Proton-proton collisions at c.o.m. energy of 13 TeV producing hard QCD events containing a top–anti-top quark pair decaying into dilepton channel accompanied by a b-jet in the final state.

Measurement of the top pair cross-section in the dilepton channel, where a muon, electron and one b-jet are required to be present in the event. A fiducial cross-section is measuremed where the leptons and jets are required to be within the pseudorapidity acceptance of the LHCb acceptance (2 < η < 4.5), and to have a transverse momentum greater than 20 GeV. Additionally leptons are required to be separated from each other by a radial distance (ΔR) of 0.1, and from the b-jet by a distance of 0.5.
