The integrated luminosity of the data sample is 36.1 fb(-1). Events consistent with top-quark pair production are selected by requiring a single isolated charged lepton, missing transverse momentum and jet activity compatible with a hadronic top-quark decay. Jets identified as likely to contain b-hadrons are required to reduce the background from other Standard Model processes. The invariant mass spectrum of the candidate top-quark pairs is examined for local excesses above the background expectation. No significant deviations from the Standard Model predictions are found. Exclusion limits are set on the production cross-section times branching ratio for hypothetical Z{\textquoteright} bosons, Kaluza-Kein gluons and Kaluza-Klein gravitons that decay into top-quark pairs.", optnote="WOS:000438114500005", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=3660), last updated on Mon, 30 Jul 2018 10:42:43 +0000", issn="1434-6044", doi="10.1140/epjc/s10052-018-5995-6", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1804.10823", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-018-5995-6", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1804.10823", language="English" }
