## Abstract

The differential cross sections for the production of photons in $Z \to \mu + \mu - \upsilon$ decays are presented as a function of the transverse energy of the photon and its separation from the nearest muon. The data for these measurements are collected with the CMS detector and correspond to an integrated luminosity of $4.7 fb^{−1}$ of $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7 TeV$ delivered by the CERN LHC. The cross sections are compared to simulations with $powheg$ and $pythia$, where $pythia$ is used to simulate parton showers and final-state photons. These simulations match the data to better than 5%.

## TrendTerms

TrendTerms displays relevant terms of the abstract of this publication and related documents on a map. The terms and their relations were extracted from ZORA using word statistics. Their timelines are taken from ZORA as well. The bubble size of a term is proportional to the number of documents where the term occurs. Red, orange, yellow and green colors are used for terms that occur in the current document; red indicates high interlinkedness of a term with other terms, orange, yellow and green decreasing interlinkedness. Blue is used for terms that have a relation with the terms in this document, but occur in other documents.
You can navigate and zoom the map. Mouse-hovering a term displays its timeline, clicking it yields the associated documents.
