1. Observation of top quark pair production in ATLAS at sqrt{s}=7 TeV / Collaboration, ATLAS
The observation of ttbar production in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy sqrt(s) = 7 TeV is presented. In a data sample of 2.9 pb−1 recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider, 37 candidate events are observed in the single lepton topology with electrons or muons, and 9 in the dilepton topology.

3. Analysis of ttbar production in the dilepton decay channel at 7 TeV with 2.9 pb−1 / Working group, Top
We present a first measurement of ttbar production with the ATLAS detector at the LHC in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV in final states with two oppositely-charged leptons (ee, mm and em), significant missing transverse energy (ETmiss) and two or more jets. In a dataset with integrated luminosity of 2.9 pb−1 we observe nine events in the dilepton channel. [...]

4. 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 $\mathscr{L} = 2.89~\ipb$.

8. 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. [...]
