Measurement of the muon charge asymmetry in inclusive W production in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV

A measurement of the muon charge asymmetry in inclusive $\mathrm{pp}\rightarrow\mathrm{W } X$ production at $\sqrt{s}= 7\,\mathrm{Te\hspace{-.08em}V} $ is presented based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $234\ \mathrm{pb}^{-1}$ recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC. This measur...

Sumario:A measurement of the muon charge asymmetry in inclusive $\mathrm{pp}\rightarrow\mathrm{W } X$ production at $\sqrt{s}= 7\,\mathrm{Te\hspace{-.08em}V} $ is presented based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $234\ \mathrm{pb}^{-1}$ recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC. This measurement of the muon charge asymmetry significantly improves the statistical precision in comparison to the previous CMS measurement.
