Jet multiplicity and tagging criteria for the SRs and CRs in the single-lepton and dilepton channels. All single-lepton regions are defined in the 5-jet-exclusive and 6-jet-inclusive jet selections, all dilepton regions in the 3-jet-exclusive and 4-jet-inclusive jet selections. By construction, $\mathrm{SR}^{2\ell}_{\mathrm{tight}}$ only exists for the 4-jet-inclusive selection. Identical requirements on inclusive and exclusive working points, e.g., one c@22% and one c@11% in the $\mathrm{CR}_1^{1\ell}$, indicate a veto of additional tags at the inclusive working point.

Breakdown of the fiducial $t\bar{t}+{\geq}2c$ and $t\bar{t}+1c$ cross-section uncertainties. Systematic uncertainties are grouped into signal and background modeling, instrumental, and MC statistics categories. The table lists the fractional uncertainty in the measured cross-sections in percent and is estimated from the covariance matrix of the profile likelihood fit, following EPJC 84 (2024) 593. Individual groups of uncertainties can be added in quadrature to obtain the total uncertainty. JES and JER denote the jet energy scale and resolution uncertainties, respectively. The fractional uncertainties in the fitted $t\bar{t}+{\geq}1c$ and $t\bar{t}+\text{light}$ normalization factors are included in the data statistics category. For presentation purposes, all uncertainties are symmetrized.

Measured fiducial cross-section values in comparison with various NLO+PS predictions. The uncertainties in the predictions include independent and simultaneous variations of the $\mu_R$ and $\mu_F$ scales and uncertainties in the choice of the PDF set, but no uncertainties in the parton shower or hadronization. The uncertainties in the measured values include all statistical and systematic uncertainties. For presentation purposes, the quoted measurement and prediction uncertainties are symmetrized.

Measured and predicted values for the $t\bar{t}+{\geq}1b$, $t\bar{t}+{\geq}2c$, and $t\bar{t}+1c$ cross-sections and for the cross-section ratios of these processes to total $t\bar{t}+\text{jets}$ production. The quoted uncertainties in the measurements include statistical and systematic uncertainties. The predictions are taken from the nominal setup using inclusive $t\bar{t}$ Powheg+Pythia8 predictions for the $t\bar{t}+{\geq}2c$, $t\bar{t}+1c$, and $t\bar{t}+\text{light}$ processes, and $t\bar{t}+b\bar{b}$ Powheg+Pythia8 predictions for the $t\bar{t}+{\geq}1b$ process. The first use the 5FS, the latter the 4FS, where the $b$-quarks are treated as massive particles and are included in the matrix element calculation. The uncertainties in the predictions include independent and simultaneous variations of the $\mu_R$ and $\mu_F$ scales and uncertainties in the choice of the PDF set.

Nuisance parameters with a large impact on the fiducial measurement: ranking of the ten most impactful nuisance parameters for the $t\bar{t}+{\geq}2c$ cross-section measurement. The colored boxes indicate the impact of the nuisance parameters, $\Delta\mu$ (top axis), on the corresponding parameter of interest, $\mu$. They are calculated from the covariance matrix using the post-fit up (down) uncertainties of the parameter of interest and the nuisance parameter, $\sigma_{\mathrm{POI}}^{\mathrm{up}}$ and $\sigma_{\mathrm{NP}}^{\mathrm{up}}$ ($\sigma_{\mathrm{POI}}^{\mathrm{down}}$ and $\sigma_{\mathrm{NP}}^{\mathrm{down}}$), and their linear correlation coefficient, $\rho$, following EPJC 84 (2024) 593. The data points and error bars indicate the post-fit values and uncertainties of the nuisance parameters relative to their pre-fit values, $\theta_0$, in units of their pre-fit uncertainties, $\Delta \theta$ (bottom axis). A hollow circle indicates that the nuisance parameter has a Poisson constraint.
