Measurement of VZ production cross sections in Z -> bb decay channels in pp collisions at 8 TeV

We present a measurement of the WZ and ZZ production cross sections in proton-proton collisions at 8 TeV in final states where one Z boson decays to b-tagged jets, while the other gauge boson, either W or Z, is detected through its leptonic decay. The results are based on data corresponding to an in...

Sumario:We present a measurement of the WZ and ZZ production cross sections in proton-proton collisions at 8 TeV in final states where one Z boson decays to b-tagged jets, while the other gauge boson, either W or Z, is detected through its leptonic decay. The results are based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 18.9 /fb collected with the CMS detector at the Large Hadron Collider.
