Measurement of top cross section<br />

• Complete set of ingredients to investigate production of ttbar, which is the<br />

next step in verifying the SM at the <strong>LHC</strong>:<br />

• e, µ, E T<br />

miss<br />

, jets, b-tag<br />

• Assume all tops decay to Wb: event topology<br />

then depends on the two W decays.<br />

• Of interest:<br />

• lepton (e or µ),<br />

E T<br />

miss<br />

, jjbb (37.9%)<br />

• dilepton (ee, µµ or eµ),<br />

E T<br />

miss<br />

, bb (6.46%)<br />

• Data-driven methods to control QCD and W+jets backgrounds<br />

• Counting experiment, with simultaneous likelihood fit to all channels to<br />

derive the combined cross section.<br />
