Measurement of the t¯t production cross section in pp collisions at ?s=7 ?TeV in dilepton final states containing a ?

Abstract: The top quark pair production cross section is measured in dilepton events with one electron or muon, and one hadronically decaying ? lepton from the decay tt? ?(???)(?h??)bb? , (?=e,?). The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 2.0??fb-1 for the electron channel and 2.2??fb-1 for the muon channel, collected by the CMS detector at the LHC. This is the first measurement of the tt? cross section explicitly including ? leptons in proton-proton collisions at ?s=7??TeV. The measured value ?tt? =143±14(stat)±22(syst)±3(lumi)??pb is consistent with the standard model predictions.
