Di-Boson production at CMS
A measurement of the W$\gamma$, Z$\gamma$, and W$^{+}$W$^{-}$ di-boson production in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV is presented. Results are based on data sample recorded by CMS experiment at LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $36$ $pb^{-1}$. The electron and muon de...

description | A measurement of the W$\gamma$, Z$\gamma$, and W$^{+}$W$^{-}$ di-boson production in
proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV is presented. Results are based on data sample recorded by CMS experiment at LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $36$ $pb^{-1}$. The electron and muon decay channels of the W and Z are used. In the case of W$\gamma$ and Z$\gamma$ the total cross sections are
measured for photon transverse energy $E_T^{\gamma} > 10$ GeV and spatial separation from
charged lepton in the plane of pseudorapidity and azimuthal angle $\Delta R(l,\gamma) > 0.7$,
with an additional dilepton invariant mass requirement of $M_{ll} > 50$ GeV for the Z$\gamma$ process. W$^{+}$W$^{-}$ candidates are selected as final states with two oppositely charged leptons and large missing transverse energy. The following cross sections times braching fraction values are
found: $\sigma($W$\gamma + X)$ x $B/$W$\rightarrow l\nu)$ = 56.3 $\pm$ 5.0 (stat.) $\pm$ 5.0 (syst.) $\pm$ 2.3 (lumi.) pb and $\sigma($Z$\gamma + X)$ x $B($W$\rightarrow ll)$ = 9.4 $\pm$ 1.0 (stat.) $\pm$ 0.6 (syst.) $\pm$ 0.4 (lumi.) pb. The W$^{+}$W$^{-}$ cross section is measured to be 41.1 $\pm$ 15.3 (stat.) $\pm$ 5.8 (syst.) $\pm$ 4.5 (lumi.) pb. These measurements are in agreement with standard model predictions. The first limit on anomalous WW$\gamma$, ZZ$\gamma$ and Z$\gamma\gamma$ trilinear gauge couplings at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV
are set. } |
