The abstract, sentence by sentence
A search for top quark pair resonances in final states containing at least one electron or muon has been performed with the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The search uses a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.05 fb^-1, which was recorded in 2011 at a proton-proton centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. No evidence for a resonance is found and limits are set on the production cross-section times branching ratio to ttbar for narrow and wide resonances. For narrow Z' bosons, the observed 95% credibility level limits range from 9.3 pb to 0.95 pb for masses in the range of m_Z' = 500 GeV to m_Z' = 1300 GeV. The corresponding excluded mass region for a leptophobic topcolour Z' boson (Kaluza-Klein gluon excitation in the Randall-Sundrum model) is m_Z' < 880 GeV (m_{g_KK} < 1130 GeV).

A search for top quark pair resonances in final states containing at least one electron or muon has been performed with the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The search uses a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.05 fb^-1, which was recorded in 2011 at a proton-proton centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. No evidence for a resonance is found and limits are set on the production cross-section times branching ratio to ttbar for narrow and wide resonances. For narrow Z' bosons, the observed 95% credibility level limits range from 9.3 pb to 0.95 pb for masses in the range of m_Z' = 500 GeV to m_Z' = 1300 GeV.

We find that the NLO QCD corrections increase leading order cross sections by a modest amount that is somewhat smaller than what has been adopted in recent studies by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations [ref] .

Previous searches mostly considered cases where in one or both of the top-quark decays, the intermediate $W$ boson decays leptonically and hence the top-quark decays result in one or two isolated leptons, missing energy from the neutrinos, and jets in the final state [ref] .
