摘要:

作为最近对大型强子对撞机上W+ W-对的唯一双光子产生的分析的一部分,CMS实验使用双轻子数据来获得“有效”光子-光子光度。我们展示了如何CMS分析他们的8 TeV的数据,以及一些假设的可能性事件中,质子打破了通过选择标准,可以用来显着约束光子部分子分布函数,如那些从CTEQ,MRST,和NNPDF合作。我们将数据与使用这些光子分布以及新的LUXqed光子分布的预测进行比较。我们研究了包括这些数据对NNPDF2.3QED、NNPDF3.0QED和CT 14 QEDinc拟合的影响。我们发现这些数据对光子分布进行了有用和互补的交叉检查,这与LUXqed预测一致,同时表明NNPDF光子误差带应显着减少。此外,我们提出了一个简单的模型来描述双光子生产的W+ W-在大型强子对撞机。使用这个模型,我们约束的数量的非弹性光子后,仍然实验削减应用。

英文摘要:

As part of a recent analysis of exclusive two-photon production of W+ W- pairs at the LHC, the CMS experiment used di-lepton data to obtain an "effective" photon-photon luminosity. We show how the CMS analysis on their 8 TeV data, along with some assumptions about the likelihood for events in which the proton breaks up to pass the selection criteria, can be used to significantly constrain the photon parton distribution functions, such as those from the CTEQ, MRST, and NNPDF collaborations. We compare the data with predictions using these photon distributions, as well as the new LUXqed photon distribution. We study the impact of including these data on the NNPDF2.3QED, NNPDF3.0QED and CT14QEDinc fits. We find that these data place a usefil and complementary cross-check on the photon distribution, which is consistent with LUXqed prediction while suggesting that the NNPDF photon error band should be significantly reduced. Additionally, we propose a simple model for describing the two-photon production of W+ W- at the LHC. Using this model, we constrain the amount of inelastic photon that remains after the experimental cuts are applied.
