Candidate W-boson pairs are selected by identifying their leptonic decays into an electron, a muon and neutrinos. Events with reconstructed jets are not included in the candidate event sample. The cross-section measurement is performed in a fiducial phase space close to the experimental acceptance and is compared to theoretical predictions. Agreement is found between the measurement and the most accurate calculations available. %R 10.1016/j.physletb.2017.08.047 %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1702.04519 %U https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2017.08.047 %P 354-374
