Measurement of the tt¯γ production cross section in proton-proton collisions at √s = 8 TeV with the ATLAS detector

The cross section of a top-quark pair produced in association with a photon is measured in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of √s = 8 TeV with 20.2 fb⁻¹ of data collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider in 2012. The measurement is performed by selecting events t...
