## Abstract

The top-quark pair production cross section is measured in final states with one electron or muon and one hadronically decaying τ lepton from the process tt¯→(ℓνℓ)(τντ)bb¯ , where ℓ=e,μ . The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 19.6 fb −1 collected with the CMS detector in proton–proton collisions at s=8 TeV . The measured cross section σtt¯=257±3 (stat)±24 (syst)±7 (lumi) pb , assuming a top-quark mass of 172.5 GeV, is consistent with the standard model prediction.

## TrendTerms

TrendTerms displays relevant terms of the abstract of this publication and related documents on a map. The terms and their relations were extracted from ZORA using word statistics. Their timelines are taken from ZORA as well. The bubble size of a term is proportional to the number of documents where the term occurs. Red, orange, yellow and green colors are used for terms that occur in the current document; red indicates high interlinkedness of a term with other terms, orange, yellow and green decreasing interlinkedness. Blue is used for terms that have a relation with the terms in this document, but occur in other documents.
You can navigate and zoom the map. Mouse-hovering a term displays its timeline, clicking it yields the associated documents.
