Measurement of the Top Pair Production Cross section at ATLAS

We present the measurement of the production cross section for top quark pair ($t\bar{t}$) in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV using the data recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Events are selected in single lepton (electron or muon) and dilepton ($ee$, $\mu\mu$,...

Sumario:We present the measurement of the production cross section for top quark pair ($t\bar{t}$) in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV using the data recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Events are selected in single lepton (electron or muon) and dilepton ($ee$, $\mu\mu$, $e\mu$) topologies with multi-jets, and large missing transverse energy (MET). The combined result from these measurements is $\sigma_{t\bar{t}}$ = $176 \pm 5 \mathrm{(stat.)} ^{+13}_{-10}\mathrm{(syst.)} \pm 7 \mathrm{(lumi.)} \mathrm{pb}$, which is in good agreement with the Standard Model prediction.
