Project description

This project will test standard model prediction by performing precision measurements on top quark pair production (ttbar) with associated photon emission (ttg) using the upcoming CMS data recorded during the third LHC run. The aim is to measure the inclusive and differential cross-sections of ttg, their ratios relative to ttbar cross-sections, and the charge asymmetry in ttg.
