Using events with an opposite-charge electron-muon pair and b-tagged jets, and assuming Standard Model decays, the top-quark-pair production cross section is measured to be $σ_{t\bar{t}}$ = 850±3(stat.)±18(syst.)±20(lumi.) pb. The ratio of the $t\bar{t}$ and the Z-boson production cross sections is also measured, where the Z-boson contribution is determined for inclusive $e^+e^−$ and $μ^+μ^−$ events in a fiducial phase space. The relative uncertainty on the ratio is reduced compared to the $t\bar{t}$ cross section, thanks to the cancellation of several systematic uncertainties. The result for the ratio, $R_{t\bar{t}}$/Z=1.145±0.003(stat.)±0.021(syst.)±0.002(lumi.) is consistent with the Standard Model prediction using the PDF4LHC21 PDF set.}, keywords = {p p: colliding beams (INSPIRE) / top: pair production (INSPIRE) / p p: scattering (INSPIRE) / top: leptonic decay (INSPIRE) / final state: ((n)jet dilepton) (INSPIRE) / channel cross section: measured (INSPIRE) / cross section: ratio: measured (INSPIRE) / Z0: leptonic decay (INSPIRE) / electron: pair production (INSPIRE) / muon: pair production (INSPIRE) / jet: bottom (INSPIRE) / bottom: particle identification (INSPIRE) / ATLAS (INSPIRE) / CERN LHC Coll (INSPIRE) / phase space (INSPIRE) / experimental results (INSPIRE) / 13600 GeV-cms (INSPIRE)}, cin = {ATLAS}, ddc = {530}, cid = {I:(DE-H253)ATLAS-20120731}, pnm = {611 - Fundamental Particles and Forces (POF4-611)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF4-611}, experiment = {EXP:(DE-H253)LHC-Exp-ATLAS-20150101}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)16}, eprint = {2308.09529}, howpublished = {arXiv:2308.09529}, archivePrefix = {arXiv}, SLACcitation = {$\%\%CITATION$ = $arXiv:2308.09529;\%\%$}, doi = {10.1016/j.physletb.2023.138376}, url = {https://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/600304}, }
