Measurement of the tt¯ γ production cross section in proton-proton collisions at √s=8 TeV with the ATLAS detector
The cross section of a top-quark pair produced in association with a photon is measured in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of s=8 TeV with 20.2 fb −1 of data collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider in 2012. The measurement is performed by selecting events tha...
