The dataset corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 20.2 fb(-1,) and was collected in 2012 by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The analysis is performed in the single-lepton channel. Events are selected by requiring one isolated lepton (electron or muon) and at least three jets. A neural network is trained to separate the tW signal from the dominant t (t) over bar background. The cross-section is extracted from a binned profile maximum-likelihood fit to a two-dimensional discriminant built from the neural-network output and the invariant mass of the hadronically decaying W boson. The measured crosssection is sigma(tW) = 26 +/- 7 pb, in good agreement with the Standard Model expectation.", optnote="WOS:000683750400006", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=4937), last updated on Sat, 21 Aug 2021 15:25:35 +0000", issn="1434-6044", doi="10.1140/epjc/s10052-021-09371-7", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/2007.01554", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1140/epjc/s10052-021-09371-7", language="English" }
