abstract

A measurement of the cross section of the associated production of a single top quark and a W boson in final states with a muon or electron and jets in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV is presented. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 36 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC in 2016. A boosted decision tree is used to separate the tW signal from the dominant $\mathrm{t\bar{t}}$ background, whilst the subleading W+jets and multijet backgrounds are constrained using data-based estimates. This result is the first observation of the tW process in final states containing a muon or electron and jets, with a significance exceeding 5 standard deviations. The cross section is determined to be 89 $\pm$ 4 (stat) $\pm$ 12 (syst) pb, consistent with the standard model.

  1. Approximate N$^2$LO and N$^3$LO QCD Predictions for $tW$ Production

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0

    Higher-order QCD corrections to top-plus-W production raise the predicted rate by over 10% and give |Vtb|=0.99±0.03.

  2. Constraining dimension-6 SMEFT with higher-order predictions for $p p \to t W$

    hep-ph 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Higher-order QCD predictions for pp to tW enable three-parameter SMEFT fits that constrain effective new-physics scales to 0.5–2 TeV using LHC Run II and III data.
