Abstract:

The cross sections for the production of single top quarks and antiquarks in the

t

channel, and their ratio, are measured in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of

13~\mathrm{TeV}

. The full data set recorded in 2016 by the CMS detector at the LHC is analyzed, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of

35.9~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}

. Events with one muon or electron and two jets are selected, where one of the two jets is identified as originating from a bottom quark. A multivariate discriminator exploiting several kinematic variables is applied to separate signal from background events. The ratio

R_{t\mathrm{\text{-}ch.}}

of the cross sections is measured to be

1.65 \pm0.02\,\text{(stat)} \pm0.04\,\text{(syst)}

. The total cross section for the production of single top quarks or antiquarks is measured to be

219.0 \pm1.5\,\text{(stat)} \pm33.0\,\text{(syst)} \,\mathrm{pb}

and the absolute value of the CKM matrix element

V_{\mathrm{tb}}

is determined to be

1.00 \pm0.05\,\text{(exp)} \pm0.02 \,\text{(theo)}

. All results are in agreement with the standard model predictions.
