Measurement of associated W + charm production in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV
(2014)Journal of High Energy PhysicsMeasurements are presented of the associated production of a W boson and a charm-quark jet (W + c) in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. The analysis is conducted with a data sample corresponding to a total integrated luminosity of 5 fb−1, collected by the CMS detector at the LHC. W boson candidates are identified by their decay into a charged lepton (muon or electron) and a neutrino. The W + c measurements are performed ...Journal Article -
Event activity dependence of Y(nS) production in √sNN =5.02 TeV pPb and √s=2.76 TeV pp collisions
(2014)Journal of High Energy PhysicsThe production of Y(1S), Y(2S), and Y(3S) is investigated in pPb and pp collisions at centre-of-mass energies per nucleon pair of 5.02 TeV and 2.76 TeV, respectively. The datasets correspond to integrated luminosities of about 31 nb−1 (pPb) and 5.4 pb−1 (pp), collected in 2013 by the CMS experiment at the LHC. Upsilons that decay into muons are reconstructed within the rapidity interval |y CM| < 1.93 in the nucleon-nucleon centre-of-mass ...Journal Article -
Measurement of the muon charge asymmetry in inclusive pp→W+X production at √s = 7 Tev and an improved determination of light parton distribution functions
(2014)Physical Review DMeasurements of the muon charge asymmetry in inclusive pp→W+X production at √s=7 TeV are presented. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb−1 recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC. With a sample of more than 20 million W→μν events, the statistical precision is greatly improved in comparison to previous measurements. These new results provide additional constraints on the parton distribution functions of the ...Journal Article
