Özet
The cross section of top quark pair production is measured in the tt→(ℓνℓ)(τhντ) bbtt→(ℓ ℓ)(τh τ) bb final state, where τh refers to the hadronic decays of the τ lepton, and ℓ is either an electron or a muon. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb− 1 collected in proton-proton collisions at s√ = 13 TeV with the CMS detector. The measured cross section is σttσtt= 781±7 (stat)±62 (syst)±20 (lumi) pb, and the ratio of the partial width Γ (t→ τντb) to the total decay width of the top quark is measured to be 0.1050±0.0009 (stat)±0.0071 (syst). This is the first measurement of the tttt production cross section in proton-proton collisions at s√ = 13 TeV that explicitly includes τ leptons. The ratio of the cross sections in the ℓτh and ℓℓ final states yields a value Rℓτh/ll ℓτh/ = 0.973±0.009 (stat)±0.066 (syst), consistent with lepton universality.
