Measurements of $ {\mathrm{t}\overline{\mathrm{t}}} \mathrm{W} $ differential cross sections and the leptonic charge asymmetry at $ \sqrt{s}= $ 13 TeV
Submitted to J. High Energy Phys.
Abstract: Measurements of properties of top quark-antiquark pair production in association with a W boson in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV are presented, using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$ ^{-1} $, recorded by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC. Events are selected based on the presence of either two leptons with the same electric charge or three leptons, and multiple jets and b-tagged jets. We present measurements of differential production cross sections as a function of kinematic variables sensitive to different aspects of the process modeling, using a multivariate discriminator in the two-lepton selection region and a simple selection-based method in the three-lepton region. The normalized cross section measurements are generally consistent with the standard model expectations, while we observe larger values compared to the expectations in the absolute cross section measurements, consistent with previous inclusive cross section measurements. In addition, we measure the leptonic charge asymmetry of this process, obtaining an observed value of $ A_\text{c}^{\ell}= -0.19 ^{+0.16}_{-0.18} $, consistent with the expectation of $-0.085 \pm 0.006$ predicted by next-to-leading order simulations.

The lower panels show the ratio of the data to the sum of the postfit predictions (points) and the ratio of the data to the prefit predictions (red line). The vertical lines on the data points represent the statistical uncertainty in the data and the hatched (filled) band corresponds to the total uncertainty in the postfit (prefit) prediction. Events that exceed the range of the plot are included in the last bin. The bin contents are divided by bin width.

Summary
Measurements of properties of top quark-antiquark pair production in association with a W boson ($ {\mathrm{t}\overline{\mathrm{t}}} \mathrm{W} $) in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV are performed using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$ ^{-1} $, recorded by the CMS experiment. Events with either two leptons with the same electric charge or three leptons, and multiple jets and b-tagged jets are used. The differential cross sections as a function of kinematic variables sensitive to the modeling of the $ {\mathrm{t}\overline{\mathrm{t}}} \mathrm{W} $ process are measured, using a multivariate discriminator for events in the two-lepton region and a counting method for events in the three-lepton region. Overall, the normalized differential cross section measurements are generally consistent with the standard model expectations, while the absolute cross sections are above the theoretical predictions by approximately one standard deviation, consistent with previous inclusive cross section measurements. In addition to the differential cross sections, the leptonic charge asymmetry of this process is measured to be $ A_\text{c}^{\ell}=-0.19 ^{+0.16}_{-0.18} $, consistent with the expectation of $-0.085 \pm 0.006$ predicted by next-to-leading order simulations.
