Sumario: | <!--HTML-->We present first measurements of the top-quark pair-production and the
inclusive W+jets cross-section in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 7
TeV with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider.
These are important Standard Model processes which have been
the subject of much recent theoretical attention in preparation for
LHC running.
In a data sample of 2.9 pb-1 we observe 37 top-pair candidates in the
single lepton and 9 in the dilepton channel, leading to the measurement
of the ttbar production cross-section
sigma(ttbar) =145 +- 31 +42 -27 pb.
In a data sample of 1.3 pb-1, cross-sections, in both the electron and
muon decay modes of the W boson, are presented as a function of jet
multiplicity and of the transverse momentum of the leading and
next-to-leading jets in the event. Measurements are also presented of
the ratio of cross sections sigam(W+ >= n) / sigma(W+ >= n-1) for
inclusive jet multiplicities n=1-4.
The measurements are compared to recent higher-order and
high-multiplicity Standard Model calculations.
