Search for single b* quark production with the ATLAS detector at root s=7 TeV

The impact of contamination due to pair produced top quarks contaminating the signal or control regions has been explicitly evaluated and is observed to be less than 5% (10%) for

With a total cross section to same-sign leptons equal to 0.7 pb, small with respect to the expected b ′ or same-sign top-quark production, SM diboson events are a rare but
