AI 中文摘要
本文对质心系能量为13 TeV的质子-质子碰撞中的矢量玻色子散射测量进行了统计组合分析。该分析基于2016年至2018年间CMS探测器采集的对应积分亮度为138 fb⁻¹的数据集。选择的事例包含两个矢量玻色子,其中至少一个发生轻子衰变,还至少有两个额外的高不变质量且大赝快度间隔的喷注。提取了同号WW、异号WW以及WZ和ZZ道的信号率,并与标准模型预测值进行对比。该组合通过在统一框架内同时约束所有道,提供了矢量玻色子散射的全局视图,其灵敏度优于单独输入的结果,所有结果均与标准模型预测一致。此外,还开展了电荷分离测量,按电荷区分W玻色子,以提升对产生电荷不对称性的灵敏度。
英文摘要
A statistical combination of vector boson scattering measurements in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV is presented. The analysis is based on a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$, collected with the CMS detector in 2016$-$2018. Events are selected to contain two vector bosons, with at least one decaying leptonically, and at least two additional jets with a high invariant mass and a large pseudorapidity separation. Signal rates are extracted for same-sign WW, opposite-sign WW, as well as for WZ and ZZ channels, and are compared with the standard model predictions. The combination provides a global view of vector boson scattering by simultaneously constraining all channels in a coherent framework, improving sensitivity beyond individual inputs, with all results in agreement with the standard model predictions. In addition, a charge-separated measurement is performed in which W bosons are distinguished according to their electric charge, allowing sensitivity to the production charge asymmetry.
