W and Z Boson Cross Section and W Asymmetry at CMS

We report the measurement of the rates and asymmetries of inclusive and differential production of W and Z vector bosons in pp collision at $\sqrt{s}$=7 TeV. The data consists of 36 $pb^{-1}$ collected in the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The measured inclu...

description We report the measurement of the rates and asymmetries of inclusive and differential production of W and Z vector bosons in pp collision at $\sqrt{s}$=7 TeV. The data consists of 36 $pb^{-1}$ collected in the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The measured inclusive cross sections are $\sigma(pp\to WX)\times B(W\to \ell\nu) = 10.31 \pm 0.02 (stat.) \pm 0.09 (syst.) \pm 0.10 (th.) \pm 0.41 (lumi.)$ nb and $\sigma(pp\to ZX)\times B(Z\to \ell\ell) = 0.975 \pm 0.007 (stat.) \pm 0.007 (syst.) \pm 0.018 (th.) \pm 0.039 (lumi.)$ nb. The measured inclusive cross sections and also its ratio of W to Z or $W^{+}$ to $W^{-}$ agree with NNLO QCD cross section calculations and current parton distribution functions (PDFs). The differential production asymmetry of W boson as a function of the lepton pseudorapidity in the final state is also measured and compared with various PDFs.
