Measurement of the single top quark $t$-channel cross section with a template fit analysis
We present a measurement of the inclusive single top $t$-channel production cross section in proton-proton collisions at the LHC, using data collected with the CMS experiment during 2011 and 2012. The analyzed data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 1.17/1.56~fb$^{-1}$ for muon/electron chann...

description | We present a measurement of the inclusive single top $t$-channel production cross section in proton-proton collisions at the LHC, using data collected with the CMS experiment during 2011 and 2012. The analyzed data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 1.17/1.56~fb$^{-1}$ for muon/electron channel respectively at the centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, and to 5.0~fb$^{-1}$ at 8 TeV. The analysis exploits the pseudorapidity distribution of the recoil jet and reconstructed top-quark mass using background estimates determined from control samples in data. The measurement is used to determine the CKM matrix element $\lvert V_{\mathrm{tb}}\rvert$. |
