Observation of the Associated Production of a Single Top Quark and a W Boson in pp Collisions at √s = 8 TeV

The first observation of the associated production of a single top quark and a W boson is presented. The analysis is based on a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 12.2  fb[superscript −1] of proton-proton collisions at √s = 8  TeV recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC.
