# First Measurement of Cross Section Ratio / in pp Collisions at 7 TeV

## Abstract

We present the first measurement of the cross section ratio / in the dilepton decay mode, using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 5.0 collected in pp collisions at = 7 TeV with the CMS detector at LHC. The cross section ratio is measured in the visible phase space corresponding to the detector acceptance, and corrected to the particle level. The measurement was performed by means of a fit to the measured multiplicity distribution of b-tagged jets in a sample of dileptonic top quark pair candidate events with at least four reconstructed jets. The result of the measurement, 3.6 1.1 (stat.) 0.9 (sys.) %, is compared with various theory predictions.

Distribution of the transverse momentum of the leading jet after the requirement of at least four reconstructed jets. The distributions correspond to the sum of the , and final states. Data are compared with Monte Carlo simulations where the process is required to have two additional b-jets, to have at least two c-jets and events are from Light Flavor (LF) jets such as gluon, u, d or s quark. The contribution labelled " others" is from top quark pair events that do not pass the visible phase space definition. The last bin includes overflow. pdf
