The dataset corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb(-1) collected by the ATLAS detector in 2012 at the LHC. Final states with two, three or four leptons are considered. A fit to the data considering the t (t) over barW and t (t) over barZ processes simultaneously yields a significance of 5.0 sigma (4.2 sigma) over the background-only hypothesis for t (t) over barW (t (t) over barZ) production. The measured cross sections are sigma(t (t) over barW) = 369(-91)(+100) fb and sigma(t (t) over barZ) = 176(-52)(+58) fb. The background-only hypothesis with neither t (t) over barW nor t (t) over barZ production is excluded at 7.1 sigma. All measurements are consistent with next-to-leading-order calculations for the t (t) over barW and t (t) over barZ processes.", optnote="WOS:000366139900001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=2488), last updated on Fri, 01 Jan 2016 20:30:36 +0000", issn="1029-8479", doi="10.1007/JHEP11(2015)172", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1509.05276", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP11(2015)172", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1509.05276", language="English" }
