Studies of tt production with additional heavy flavour jets in p-p collision with the ATLAS detector — •Lucas Klein, Mahsana Haleem, and Raimund Ströhmer — Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg

The production of tt-pairs with additional jets provides a strong test of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) predictions at high orders. Furthermore, this production represents as a significant background to rare SM processes (e.g. ttH, tt tt), as well as to processes beyond the standard model. The additional jets consisting of b-quarks originating from gluon splitting are particularly interesting in constraining uncertainties in the prediction of the process.

In this talk, we will show studies of tt-pair production with additional b-jets in the dileptonic top decay channel using full Run 2 ATLAS data from proton-proton collision at √s=13 TeV. Events are chosen by requiring an oppositely-charged eµ-pair and at least two b-jets in the final state as a baseline selection. The backgrounds originating from tt events with additional light- or c-flavour jets (ttl, ttc) misidentified as b-jets in exclusive 3 b-tagged jet and ≥ 4 b-tagged jet regions are estimated using a data-driven method.

The fiducial cross-sections for a phase space with at least one and at least two additional b-jets at particle-level will be shown and compared. Differential cross-section distributions for several variables in ≥3 b-jet and ≥4 b-jet regions will also be shown and compared to several theoretical predicions.
