Issue Date: | 2017 | Publisher: | Springer Nature | Serial title, monograph or event: | European Physical Journal C | Volume: | 77 | Issue: | 8 | Abstract: | Detailed measurements of t-channel single topquark production are presented. They use 20.2 fb−1 of data collected by the ATLAS experiment in proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8TeV at the LHC. Total, fiducial and differential cross-sections are measured for both top-quark and top-antiquark production. The fiducial crosssection is measured with a precision of 5.8% (top quark) and 7.8% (top antiquark), respectively. The total cross-sections are measured to be σtot(tq) = 56.7+4.3 −3.8 pb for top-quark production and σtot(¯tq) = 32.9+3.0 −2.7 pb for top-antiquark production, in agreement with the Standard Model prediction. In addition, the ratio of top-quark to top-antiquark production cross-sections is determined to be Rt = 1.72 ± 0.09. The differential cross-sections as a function of the transverse momentum and rapidity of both the top quark and the top antiquark are measured at both the parton and particle levels. The transverse momentum and rapidity differential crosssections of the accompanying jet from the t-channel scattering are measured at particle level. All measurements are compared to various Monte Carlo predictions as well as to fixed-order QCD calculations where available. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/108161 | DOI: | 10.1140/epjc/s10052-017-5061-9 | Rights: | openAccess |
