Abstract

The differential cross-section for the production of a <i>W</i> boson in association with a top quark is measured for several particle-level observables. The measurements are performed using 36.1fb-1 of <i>pp</i> collision data collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC in 2015 and 2016. Differential cross-sections are measured in a fiducial phase space defined by the presence of two charged leptons and exactly one jet matched to a <i>b</i>-hadron, and are normalised with the fiducial cross-section. Results are found to be in good agreement with predictions from several Monte Carlo event generators.
