Description

The first measurement of the top quark pair production cross section in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13.6 \, \mathrm{TeV}$ is presented. A novel measurement technique, based on a likelihood fit to events with one or two charged leptons, is used to analyze data recorded with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $1.20 \, \mathrm{fb}^{-1}$. The measured cross section is $887^{+68}_{-67} \, \mathrm{pb}$, in agreement with the standard model prediction.
