Recent measurements of associated single top-quark production cross-section with the ATLAS detector

The measurement of the inclusive $Wt$ cross-section at 13 TeV is performed using 3.2$\,\text{fb}{^{-1}}$ of proton--proton collision data collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC in 2015. Events are required to have at least one jet and two opposite sign leptons. The cross section is measured to b...

Sumario:The measurement of the inclusive $Wt$ cross-section at 13 TeV is performed using 3.2$\,\text{fb}{^{-1}}$ of proton--proton collision data collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC in 2015. Events are required to have at least one jet and two opposite sign leptons. The cross section is measured to be $\sigma_{Wt} = 94\pm 10\text{(stat.)}^{+28}_{-22}\text{(syst.)}\pm 2\text{(lumi})$pb, corresponding to an observed significance of 4.5\,$\sigma$ (3.9\,$\sigma$ expected). The result is consistent with the Standard Model prediction.
