Table 2.

Total cross sections in pb at the LHC 13 TeV for the processes pptt¯ and pptW, in the 5FS at NLO+PS accuracy. Results are presented before any cut (left), after fiducial cuts (centre), and also adding top reconstruction on the event sample (right). We also report the scale and PDF uncertainties, as well as the cut efficiency with respect to the case with no cuts. All numbers are computed with the reference dynamic scale μ0=HT/4, and the numerical uncertainty affecting the last digit is reported in parentheses
