The dataset corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 3.2 fb(-1), and was collected in 2015 by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Events are selected requiring two opposite sign isolated leptons and at least one jet; they are separated into signal and control regions based on their jet multiplicity and the number of jets that are identified as containing b hadrons. The Wt signal is then separated from the t ({\$}) over bar background using boosted decision tree discriminants in two regions. The cross-section is extracted by fitting templates to the data distributions, and is measured to be sigma(Wt) = 94 +/- 10 (stat:)(-22)(+28) (syst:) +/- 2 (lumi:) pb. The measured value is in good agreement with the SM prediction of sigma(theory) = 71: 7 +/- 1: 8 (scale) +/- 3: 4 (PDF) pb [1].", optnote="WOS:000423212200001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=3457), last updated on Mon, 04 Feb 2019 12:55:57 +0000", issn="1029-8479", doi="10.1007/JHEP01(2018)063", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1612.07231", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP01(2018)063", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1612.07231", language="English" }
