The dataset corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb(-1). The analysis is performed on events with an electron or muon, missing transverse momentum and exactly two b-tagged jets in the final state. A discriminant based on matrix element calculations is used to separate single-top-quark s-channel events from the main background contributions, which are top-quark pair production and W-boson production in association with jets. The observed (expected) signal significance over the background-only hypothesis is 3.3 (3.9) standard deviations, and the measured cross-section is sigma = 8.2(-2.9)(+3.5) pb, consistent with the Standard Model prediction of sigma(SM) = 10.32(-0.36)(+0.40) pb.", optnote="WOS:001035243000001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=5636), last updated on Fri, 15 Sep 2023 12:29:13 +0000", issn="1029-8479", doi="10.1007/JHEP06(2023)191", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.08990", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP06(2023)191", language="English" }
