The cross sections for the production of t tbar b bbar and t tbar j j events and their ratio σ(t tbar b bbar) / σ(t tbar j j) are measured using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.3 fb−1collected in pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV with the CMS detector at the LHC.

Abstract
The cross sections for the production of t tbar b bbar and t tbar j j events and their ratio σ(t tbar b bbar) / σ(t tbar j j) are measured using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.3 fb−1collected in pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV with the CMS detector at the LHC. Events with two leptons (e or μ) and at least four reconstructed jets, including at least two identified as b quark jets, in the final state are selected. In the full phase space, the measured ratio is 0.022 ± 0.003 (stat) ± 0.006 (syst), the cross section σ(t tbar b bbar) is 4.0 ± 0.6 (stat) ± 1.3 (syst) pb and σ(t tbar j j) is 184 ± 6 (stat) ± 33 (syst) pb. The measurements are compared with the standard model expectations obtained from a powheg simulation at next-to-leading-order interfaced with pythia.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
