The inclusive cross-section for tW production in proton-proton collisions at √(s) = 13 TeV is measured for an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb-1 collected by the CMS experiment. The measurement is performed using events with one electron and one muon in the final state and at least one b-quark jet, and utilises kinematic differences between the signal and the dominating tt background using multivariant discriminants which is designed to disentangle the two processes. The measured cross-section of σ= 63.1 ± 1.8~(\rm stat) ± 6.4~(\rm syst) ± 2.1~(\rm lumi) pb is observed to be in agreement with the Standard Model.
