Description

We present a measurement of the production cross-section of top-quark pairs in association with a photon in pp collisions at center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. The data was recorded at the CMS experiment, corresponding to 19.7 fb-1 integrated luminosity. The measurement is performed in dilepton and lepton+jets final states. Data-driven methods are used to estimate the photon identification efficiency and purity. The measured cross-section agrees with the standard model expectation.
