Top Quark Production Measurements at ATLAS
Abstract
An overview of top quark production measurements using the ATLAS detector at the LHC is presented. Using 35 pb-1 of data, we measured the ttbar cross-section in the lepton+jets channel to 13% precision and set limits on the cross-section for the all hadronic decay channel. The measurement in the dilepton channel was performed using 0.70 fb-1 of data and was combined with the lepton+jets channel result for our most precise ttbar cross-section measurement of σ(ttbar+X) =176 +- 5(stat) +13 -10 (syst) +-7(lumi). Single top production was also measured in the t-channel using 0.70 fb-1 of data.
