abstract = {A search is performed for top-quark pairs (tt¯) produced
together with a photon (γ) with transverse energy greater
than 20 GeV using a sample of tt¯ candidate events in
final states with jets, missing transverse momentum, and one
isolated electron or muon. The data set used corresponds to
an integrated luminosity of 4.59 fb-1 of proton-proton
collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV recorded by
the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. In
total, 140 and 222 tt¯γ candidate events are observed in
the electron and muon channels, to be compared to the
expectation of 79±26 and 120±39 non-tt¯γ background
events, respectively. The production of tt¯γ events is
observed with a significance of 5.3 standard deviations away
from the null hypothesis. The tt¯γ production cross
section times the branching ratio (BR) of the single-lepton
decay channel is measured in a fiducial kinematic region
within the ATLAS acceptance. The measured value is
σtt¯γfid×BR=63±8(stat)-13+17(syst)±1(lumi) fb per
lepton flavor, in good agreement with the leading-order
theoretical calculation normalized to the
next-to-leading-order theoretical prediction of 48±10 fb.},
