"Table 5" of "Measurement of the cross-section for W boson production in association with b-jets in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector"

CERN-LHC. This paper reports a measurement of the $W+b$-jets production cross-section in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV at the LHC. These results are based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.6 fb$^{-1}$, collected with the ATLAS detector. Cross-sections are presented as a function of jet multiplicity and of the transverse momentum of the leading $b$-jet for both the muon and electron decay modes of the $W$ boson. The $W+b$-jets cross-section, corrected for all known detector effects, is quoted in a limited kinematic range, using jets reconstructed with the anti-$k_t$ clustering algorithm with transverse momentum above 25 GeV and rapidity within +- 2.1. Combining the muon and electron channels, the fiducial cross-section for $W+b$-jets is measured to be 7.1 +- 0.5 (stat) +- 1.4 (syst) pb, consistent with next-to-leading order QCD calculations within 1.5 standard deviations.
