QCD analysis of the ATLAS and CMS $W^{\pm}$ and $Z$ cross-section measurements and implications for the strange sea density

In the present paper, the ATLAS inclusive W± and Z boson production data are analyzed together with the CMS inclusive W± and Z boson production data to investigate any possible tensions between the data sets and to determine the strange sea fraction, within the framework of a parton distribution fun...

Sumario:In the present paper, the ATLAS inclusive W± and Z boson production data are analyzed together with the CMS inclusive W± and Z boson production data to investigate any possible tensions between the data sets and to determine the strange sea fraction, within the framework of a parton distribution function fit at next-to next-to-leading order in perturbative QCD.
