Measurement of the W+W− cross section in pp collisions at s√=7 TeV and limits on anomalous WWγ and WWZ couplings


CMS Collaboration; Chatrchyan, S; Khachatryan, V; Sirunyan, A M; et al; Chiochia, V; Kilminster, B; Robmann, P (2013). Measurement of the W+W− cross section in pp collisions at s√=7 TeV and limits on anomalous WWγ and WWZ couplings. European Physical Journal C - Particles and Fields, 73:2610.

Abstract

A measurement of W+W− production in pp collisions at s√=7 TeV is presented. The data were collected with the CMS detector at the LHC, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 4.92±0.11 fb−1. The W+W− candidates consist of two oppositely charged leptons, electrons or muons, accompanied by large missing transverse energy. The W+W− production cross section is measured to be 52.4±2.0 (stat.)±4.5 (syst.)±1.2 (lum.) pb. This measurement is consistent with the standard model prediction of 47.0±2.0 pb at next-to-leading order. Stringent limits on the WWγ and WWZ anomalous triple gauge-boson couplings are set.
