b标记喷流在最终状态下产生WZ和ZZ的证据

Evidence for WZ and ZZ production in final states with b-tagged jets

D0 Collaboration

摘要:

我们提出的证据,结合生产的VZ(V=W或Z)事件在最终状态包含带电轻子(电子或μ子)或中微子,和重味喷流,使用的数据收集的DO探测器在费米实验室Tevatron对撞机。分析的样品对应于7.5至8.4/fb的ppbar碰撞在sqrt s = 1.96 TeV。假设生产截面sigma(WZ)和sigma(ZZ)的比值如标准模型所预测的那样,我们测量总的VZ截面为sigma(VZ)= 5.0 +- 1.0(stat)+1.3 -1.2(syst)pb。这对应于高于仅背景假设的3.3个标准差的显著性。此外,我们还分别测量了WZ和ZZ过程的截面为simga(WZ)= 5.9 +-1.4(stat)+-0.7(syst)pb和sigma(ZZ)= 0.45 +-0.61(stat)+-1.2(syst)pb,与标准模型的预测一致。

英文摘要:

We present evidence for the combined production of VZ (V=W or Z) events in final states containing charged leptons (electrons or muons) or neutrinos, and heavy flavor jets, using data collected by the DO detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The analyzed samples correspond to 7.5 to 8.4/fb of ppbar collisions at sqrt s = 1.96 TeV. Assuming the ratio of the production cross sections sigma(WZ) and sigma(ZZ) as predicted by the standard model, we measure the total VZ cross section to be sigma(VZ) = 5.0 +- 1.0 (stat) +1.3 -1.2 (syst) pb. This corresponds to a significance of 3.3 standard deviations above the background only hypothesis. Furthermore, we have separately measured the cross sections for the WZ and ZZ processes to be simga(WZ) = 5.9 +- 1.4 (stat) +- 0.7 (syst) pb and sigma(ZZ) = 0.45 +- 0.61 (stat) +- 1.2 (syst) pb, in agreement with the standard model prediction.
