TeV = 8时pp碰撞中W或Z玻色子顶夸克-反夸克对产生的测量

Measurement of top quark-antiquark pair production in association with a W or Z boson in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV

CMS Collaboration

摘要:

本文测量了sqrt(s)= 8 TeV质子-质子碰撞中与矢量玻色子V(W或Z)有关的顶夸克-反夸克对产生的截面。结果是基于一个数据集对应的积分亮度的19.5个反飞秒记录与CMS探测器在大型强子对撞机。测量是在三个轻子(e和μ)通道:一个相同的符号双轻子分析针对t tbar W事件,和三轻子和四轻子分析设计的t tbar Z事件。在同号双轻子通道中,t tbar W的截面测量为sigma[t tbar W] = 170 + 90/-80(stat)+/- 70(syst)fb,对应于仅背景假设的1.6个标准差的显著性。结合三轻子和四轻子通道,得到t tbar Z截面的直接测量值σ [t tbar Z] = 200 + 80/-70(stat)+40/-30(syst)fb,其显著性为3.1个标准偏差。测量的截面与标准模型预测在其实验不确定度范围内是相容的。包容性的t tbar V过程中观察到的所有三个轻子通道的组合的3.7个标准偏差的意义。

英文摘要:

A measurement of the cross section for the production of top quark-antiquark pairs (t tbar) in association with a vector boson V (W or Z) in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV is presented. The results are based on a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.5 inverse femtobarns recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC. The measurement is performed in three leptonic (e and mu) channels: a same-sign dilepton analysis targeting t tbar W events, and trilepton and four-lepton analyses designed for t tbar Z events. In the same-sign dilepton channel, the t tbar W cross section is measured as sigma[t tbar W] = 170 +90/-80 (stat) +/- 70 (syst) fb, corresponding to a significance of 1.6 standard deviations over the background-only hypothesis. Combining the trilepton and four-lepton channels, a direct measurement of the t tbar Z cross section, sigma[t tbar Z] = 200 +80/-70 (stat) +40/-30 (syst) fb, is obtained with a significance of 3.1 standard deviations. The measured cross sections are compatible with standard model predictions within their experimental uncertainties. The inclusive t tbar V process is observed with a significance of 3.7 standard deviations from the combination of all three leptonic channels.
