  "abstract": "Forward top production is observed, in the ${\\mu}+b$ final state, with the 3 fb$^{-1}$ Run I dataset collected by the LHCb detector. The combined cross-section for $t\\bar{t}$ and single top production at $\\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV and $\\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV is measured, for muons from the W boson with $p_{\\rm T} > 25$ GeV in the pseudo-rapidity range 2.0$< \\eta <$4.5 and with a b-tagged jet with 50$ < p_{\\rm T} < 100$ GeV in the pseudorapidity range 2.2$< \\eta <$4.2. The production cross-sections are found to be in agreement with NLO predictions.",
