Abstract: The top-antitop quark ($ \mathrm{ t \bar{t} } $) production cross section in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV is measured by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.2 fb$^{-1}$. The measurement is performed by analyzing events with one electron and one muon and at least two jets, one of which is required to be identified as a b-jet. The measured cross section is $\sigma_{{\rm t}{\bar{\rm t}}} =$ 793 $\pm$ 8 (stat) $\pm$ 38 (syst) $\pm$ 21 (lumi) pb, in agreement with the expectations from the standard model. | ||
