Approximately 40\\% of the total cross section originates from photon bremsstrahlung off the final state jet in $t\\bar tj$ production. Without cuts restricting the hadronic activity, the $t\\bar t\\gamma$ rate is a factor 10 (2) larger than the tree level $W\\gamma$ cross section for a top quark mass of 110~GeV (200~GeV). Imposing a jet veto cut, the $t\\bar t\\gamma$ rate can be suppressed to a level well below the $W\\gamma+0$~jet signal cross section.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1993-09-08T18:42:05.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "background", "jet signal cross section", "total cross section originates", "jet veto cut", "final state jet" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 358011 } } }
