Description
We present several measurements of the top-pair production cross
section in proton-proton collisions at the LHC at a centre-of-mass
energy of 7 TeV. We use data collected with the CMS experiment during
the year 2011. Measurements are presented in the lepton+jets final
state, where events are selected by requiring exactly one isolated
and highly energetic muon or electron, and at least four jets. In
addition the di-lepton final state, consisting of two electrons or
muons, at least two jets, and significant missing energy in the
transverse plane, is used. First measurements of the cross section
for the production of top quark pairs in proton-proton collisions at the LHC in the fully hadronic channel, as well as in final states
involving tau leptons, specifically the tau+jets mode and the
e-tau / mu-tau dilepton modes are also shown.
The results, superseding previous measurements based on 2010 data,
are combined and compared with the theory predictions.
