Journal of high energy physics № 11. P. 172 (1-47)Abstract: The production cross sections of top-quark pairs in association with massive vector bosons have been measured using data from pp collisions at s√=8s=8 TeV. The dataset corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb−1 collected by the ATLAS detector in 2012 at the LHC. Final states with two, three or four leptons are considered. A fit to the data considering the tt¯Wtt¯W and tt¯Ztt¯Z processes simultaneously yields a significance of 5.0σ (4.2σ) over the background-only hypothesis for tt¯Wtt¯W ( tt¯Ztt¯Z ) production. The measured cross sections are σtt¯W=369+100−91σtt¯W=369−91+100 fb and σtt¯Z=176+58−52σtt¯Z=176−52+58 fb. The background-only hypothesis with neither tt¯Wtt¯W nor tt¯Ztt¯Z production is excluded at 7.1σ. All measurements are consistent with next-to-leading-order calculations for the tt¯Wtt¯W and tt¯Ztt¯Z processes.
