Measurement of differential cross sections and charge ratios for t-channel single top quark production in proton–proton collisions at √s=13Te
(2020)The European Physical Journal CA measurement is presented of differential cross sections for t-channel single top quark and antiquark production in proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13TeV by the CMS experiment at the LHC. From a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9fb−1, events containing one muon or electron and two or three jets are analysed. The cross section is measured as a function of the top quark transverse momentum ...Journal Article -
Measurement of the top quark forward-backward production asymmetry and the anomalous chromoelectric and chromomagnetic moments in pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV
(2020)Journal of High Energy PhysicsThe parton-level top quark (t) forward-backward asymmetry and the anomalous chromoelectric (𝑑���̂ t) and chromomagnetic (𝜇���̂ t) moments have been measured using LHC pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, collected in the CMS detector in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1. The linearized variable 𝐴���(1)FB is used to approximate the asymmetry. Candidate tt⎯⎯ events decaying to a muon or ...Journal Article -
Determination of the strong coupling constant αS(mZ) from measurements of inclusive W± and Z boson production cross sections in proton-proton collisions at √s = 7 and 8 TeV
(2020)Journal of High Energy PhysicsTwelve measurements of inclusive cross sections of W± and Z boson production, performed in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, are compared with perturbative quantum chromodynamics calculations at next-to-next- to-leading order (NNLO) accuracy obtained with the CT14, HERAPDF2.0, MMHT14, and NNPDF3.0 parton distribution functions (PDFs). Data and theory agree well for all PDF sets, taking into account the ...Journal Article
