| Measurement of the top quark pair production cross section using $\mathrm{e} \mu$ events in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV with the CMS detector | ||

| March 2016 | ||
| 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. | ||

Figure 1:
Distribution of the jet multiplicity in events passing the dilepton selection criteria. The expected distributions for $ {\mathrm{ t \bar{t} } } $ signal and individual backgrounds are shown after data-driven corrections are applied; the last bin contains the overflow events. The ratio of data to the sum of the expected yields is given at the bottom of the figure. Error bars (not visible in the figure) indicate statistical uncertainties only. |

The expected distributions for $ {\mathrm{ t \bar{t} } } $ signal and individual backgrounds are shown after data-driven corrections are applied; for the left plots (a,c) the last bin contains the overflow events.
