The measurement is performed using events with exactly one isolated electron or muon candidate and at least four jets. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 174 nb-1. The significance of the tt signal against the background-only hypothesis is above 5 standard deviations. The measured cross section is σtt=45±8 nb, consistent with predictions from perturbative quantum chromodynamics. © 2017 CERN.American Physical Society2017Articlehttps://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/ebyu/13113https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.119.2420010031-9007enPhysical Review Lettersinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://ebyu-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/ebyu/13113
