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 -
The production of isolated photons in PbPb and pp collisions at √sNN = 5.02 TeV
(2020)Journal of High Energy PhysicsThe transverse energy (EγT) spectra of photons isolated from other particles are measured using proton-proton (pp) and lead-lead (PbPb) collisions at the LHC at sNN−−−√ = 5.02 TeV with integrated luminosities of 27.4 pb−1 and 404 μb−1 for pp and PbPb data, respectively. The results are presented for photons with 25 < EγT < 200 GeV in the pseudorapidity range |η| < 1.44, and for different centrality intervals for PbPb collisions. Photon ...Journal Article -
Measurement of the cross section for t t ¯ production with additional jets and b jets in pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV
(2020)Journal of High Energy PhysicsMeasurements of the cross section for the production of top quark pairs in association with a pair of jets from bottom quarks (σtt¯bb¯¯¯) and in association with a pair of jets from quarks of any flavor or gluons (σtt¯jj) and their ratio are presented. The data were collected in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2016 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1. ...Journal Article -
Combination of the W boson polarization measurements in top quark decays using ATLAS and CMS data at √s = 8 TeV
(2020)Journal of High Energy PhysicsThe combination of measurements of the W boson polarization in top quark decays performed by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations is presented. The measurements are based on proton-proton collision data produced at the LHC at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 20 fb−1 for each experiment. The measurements used events containing one lepton and having different jet multiplicities in the final ...Journal Article
