Events are selected by requiring one charged lepton (electron or muon), missing transverse momentum, and two jets with high transverse momentum, exactly one of which is required to be b-tagged. Using a binned maximum-likelihood fit to the discriminant distribution of a neural network, the cross-sections are determined to be σ(tq) = 156 ± 5 (stat.) ± 27 (syst.) ± 3 (lumi.) pb for single top-quark production and $ \sigma \left(\overline{t}q\right)=91\pm 4 $ (stat.) ± 18 (syst.) ± 2 (lumi.) pb for single top-antiquark production, assuming a top-quark mass of 172.5 GeV. The cross-section ratio is measured to be $ {R}_t=\sigma (tq)/\sigma \left(\overline{t}q\right)=1.72\pm 0.09 $ (stat.) ± 0.18 (syst.). All results are in agreement with Standard Model predictions.engjournal article2019-02-04
