Lepton Trigger and Identification for the first {\it Top quark} observation
/ Benekos, N (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign); Benslama, K (University of Regina); Bosman, M (IFAE); Cerrito, L (Queen Mary University of London); Derue, F (LPNHE); Ferrara, V (Humboldt-Universitaet zu Berlin); Ferrari, P (Nikhef); Fiorini, L (IFAE); Heelan, L (University of Carleton); Heim, S (Michigan State University) et al.
In this note we present the selections applied to identify leptons (electrons and muons) for the first Top WG \ttbar~cross section measurements in the single and di-lepton channels. We measure the associated efficiencies at the trigger and offline level using the {\it Tag and probe} method, on the same dataset using for the cross section measurement, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $\mathscr{L} = 2.89~\ipb$.

B-tagging for top physics analyses with early ATLAS data at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV
/ Alvarez, B; Bachacou, H; Boudreau, J; Bousson, N; Cerrito, L; Clement, B; Cooper, B; Delemontex, T; Donini, J; Feligioni, L et al.
Algorithms distinguishing jets originating from $b$ quarks from other jet flavors are important tools in top physics to improve purity and combinatorical background. This document describes the algorithms to identify $b$-quark jets in ATLAS and the calibration techniques based on LHC collider data. [...]

Mis-identified lepton backgrounds to top quark pair production : Supporting note 5
/ Abi, B; Adelman, J; Almond, J; Arguin, J F; Besana, I; Bordoni, S; Bosman, M; Brau, J; Cortes-Gonzalez, A; Doxiadis, A et al.
The note presents an analysis of the mis-identified lepton (``fake'') backgrounds to top quark pair production in the single-lepton and dilepton channels. Several data driven methods are used in each channel to estimate these backgrounds and assess the corresponding systematic uncertainties. [...]

Estimation of the W+Jets Background for Top Quark Re-Discovery in the Single Lepton+Jets Channel
/ Acharya, B; Arguin, J-F; Barisonzi, M; Besana, IM; Bosman, M; Brock, IC; Calkins, R; Charkaborty, D; Cobal, M; Cristinziani, M et al.
W boson production in association with jets is predicted to be the dominant background to $t ar{t}$ events in the single lepton + jets channel. This note discusses the W+jets background to top pair production for two different luminosity scenarios. [...]

Study of Z/g+jets background for ttbar to 2 leptons analysis
/ Cranmer, K; Cristinziani, M; Khandanyan, H; Lewis, G; Liss, T; Papadelis, A; Poghosyan, T; Sherman, D; Sjoelin, J; Werth, M et al.
This note is a support note dedicated to Z/g+jets production as a background to the ttbar cross-section measurement in the dilepton channel. The output from the note is a baseline set of cuts for Z/g+jets rejection and an estimated yield, with uncertainty, of Z/g+jets events in the ttbar signal region. [...]
