Measurements of cross sections for the production of a $W$ boson in association with jets in proton–proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. With an integrated luminosity of 4.6 $\text{fb}^{−1}$, this data set allows for an exploration of a large kinematic range, including jet production up to a transverse momentum of 1 TeV and multiplicities up to seven associated jets. The production cross sections for W bosons are measured in both the electron and muon decay channels. Differential cross sections for many observables are also presented including measurements of the jet observables such as the rapidities and the transverse momenta as well as measurements of event observables such as the scalar sums of the transverse momenta of the jets. The default routine will pick up the electron decay channel of the $W$ boson and compare it to the combined (muon and electron channel) data. Individual channels (for data) are available as well, use ATLAS_2014_I1312627_EL and ATLAS_2014_I1312627_MU to specify the decay channel directly.

Measurement of Z boson in association with b-jets at 7 TeV in ATLAS (electron channel) (ATLAS_2014_I1306294)

Spires | arXiv:1407.3643 [hep-ex] | JHEP 1410 (2014) 141

Measurements of differential production cross-sections of a $Z$ boson in association with $b$-jets in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV are reported. The data analysed correspond to an integrated luminosity of 4.6 fb$^{-1}$ recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Particle-level cross-sections are determined for events with a $Z$ boson decaying into an electron or muon pair, and containing $b$-jets. For events with at least one $b$-jet, the cross-section is presented as a function of the $Z$ boson transverse momentum and rapidity, together with the inclusive $b$-jet cross-section as a function of $b$-jet transverse momentum, rapidity and angular separations between the $b$-jet and the $Z$ boson. For events with at least two $b$-jets, the cross-section is determined as a function of the invariant mass and angular separation of the two highest transverse momentum $b$-jets, and as a function of the $Z$ boson transverse momentum and rapidity. Results are compared to leading-order and next-to-leading-order perturbative QCD calculations. This Rivet module implements the event selection for Z decaying into electrons.

Measurements differential distributions for inclusive $Z$-boson-plus-dijet production are performed in five fiducial regions, each with different sensitivity to the electroweak contribution. Measured distributions include the differential cross section as a function of the dijet invariant mass, the differential cross section and a function of the dijet rapidity separation, the differential cross section as a function of the number of jets in the rapidity interval bounded by the two leading jets. Other measurements include the jet veto effiency as a function of the dijet invariant mass and rapdity separation, the normalized transverse momentum balance cut efficiency, and the average number of jets falling into the rapidity interval boundd by the two leading jets, as a function of dijet invariant mass and dijet rapidity separation.

$Z$ + jets in $pp$ at 7 TeV (ATLAS_2013_I1230812)

Spires | arXiv:1304.7098 [hep-ex] | J. High Energy Phys. 07 (2013) 032

Measurements of the production of jets of particles in association with a $Z$ boson in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV are presented, using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.6/fb collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Inclusive and differential jet cross sections in $Z$ events, with Z decaying into electron or muon pairs, are measured for jets with transverse momentum $p_T > 30$ GeV and rapidity $|y| < 4.4$. This Rivet module implements the event selection for the weighted combination of both decay channels and uses the data from that combination (as in the paper plots). But for simplification of its usage it only requires events with the electronic final state (muonic final state will be ignored). This allows to use it with either pure electronic samples, or mixed electron/muon events. If you want to use it with a pure muon sample, please refer to ATLAS\_2013\_I1230812\_MU.

Cross-sections are presented as a function of jet multiplicity and of the transverse momentum of the leading b-jet for both the combined muon and electron decay modes of the W boson. The default routine will consider the electron decay channel of the W boson. Use ATLAS_2013_I1217863_W_EL and ATLAS_2013_I1217863_W_MU to specify the decay channel directly.

The fiducial region contains dressed leptons in restricted $p_T$ and $\eta$ ranges. The selection has specific requirements for each production channel. A measurement of the normalized fiducial cross section as a function of the leading lepton transverse momentum is also presented.

Spires | arXiv:1211.6899 [hep-ex]

A measurement of angular correlations in Drell-Yan lepton pairs via the $\phi^*$ observable is presented. This variable probes the same physics as the $Z/\gamma^*$ boson transverse momentum with a better experimental resolution. The $Z/\gamma^* \to ee$ and $Z/\gamma^* \to \mu \mu$ decays produced in proton--proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} = 7\;\text{TeV}$ are used. Normalised differential cross sections as a function of $\phi^*$ are measured separately for electron and muon decay channels.

Spires

The production cross sections of the inclusive Drell-Yan process $W^\pm \rightarrow \ell\nu$ ($\ell = e, µ$) are measured in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV with the ATLAS detector. The cross sections are evaluated differentially as a function of the $W$ boson rapidity based on an integrated luminosity of about 35 $\text{pb}^{−1}$ collected in 2010.

Spires | arXiv:1108.6308v1 [hep-ex]

The W pT at $\sqrt{s} = 7$\;TeV is measured using $W\to e \, \nu_e$ and $W\to \mu \, \nu_\mu$ decay channels. The dressed leptons kinematics calculated from the sum of the post-FSR lepton momentum and the momenta of all photons radiated in a cone around the lepton, while the bare uses the lepton kinematics after all QED radiation.

Measurement of the Z pT with electrons and muons at 7 TeV (ATLAS_2011_S9131140)

Spires | arXiv:1107.2381 [hep-ex]

The Z pT at $\sqrt{s} = 7$\;TeV is measured using electron and muon $Z$ decay channels. The dressed leptons definition uses photons clustered in a cone around the charged leptons, while the bare lepton definition uses the post-FSR charged leptons only in the $Z$ reconstruction. The data used in the bare leptons calculation are based on a forward application of a PHOTOS-based energy loss correction and are hence not quite model-independent.

The jet multiplicity distribution is measured for up to six jets. The differential cross sections are measured as a function of jet transverse momentum and pseudorapidity for the four highest transverse momentum jets. The distribution of the scalar sum of jet transverse momenta is also measured as a function of the jet multiplicity. The measurements are compared with theoretical predictions at leading and next-to-leading order in perturbative QCD. Cuts: First two leading electrons or muons with $p_T > 20$ GeV and $|\eta| < 2.4$ Dilepton invariant mass in the [71,111] GeV range Jets $p_T > 30$ GeV and $|\eta| < 2.4$ $\Delta{R}($lepton,jet$) > 0.5$

The data, collected with the CMS detector at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV, correspond to an integrated luminosity of 5.0/fb. The individual rapidity distributions of the boson and the jet are consistent within 5\% with expectations from perturbative QCD. However, QCD predictions for the sum and the difference in rapidities of the two final-state objects show significant discrepancies with CMS data. In particular, next-to-leading-order QCD calculations, and two Monte Carlo event generators using different methods to merge matrix-element partons with evolved parton showers, appear inconsistent with the data as well as with each other.

Cross-section and angular correlations in $Z$ boson with $b$-hadrons events at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV (CMS_2013_I1256943)

Spires | 10.1007 / JHEP12(2013)039 | arXiv:1310.1349 | CERN-PH-EP-2013-153 | CMS-EWK-11-015

A study of proton-proton collisions in which two $b$-hadrons are produced in association with a $Z$ boson is reported. The collisions were recorded at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV with the CMS detector at the LHC, for an integrated luminosity of 5.2/fb. The $b$-hadrons are identified by means of displaced secondary vertices, without the use of reconstructed jets, permitting the study of $b$-hadron pair production at small angular separation. Differential cross sections are presented as a function of the angular separation of the $b$-hadrons and the $Z$ boson. In addition, inclusive measurements are presented. For both the inclusive and differential studies,different ranges of $Z$ boson momentum are considered.

CMS jet mass measurement in $W$ + jet events (CMS_2013_I1224539_WJET)

Spires | arXiv:1303.4811

Measurements of the mass spectra of the jets in dijet and $W/Z$+jet events from proton--proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV using a data sample of integrated luminosity of 5 fb$^-1$. The jets are reconstructed using the both the anti-$k_T$ algorithm with $R=0.7$ (AK7) and the Cambridge-Aachen algorithm with $R=0.8$ (CA8) and $R=1.2$ (CA12) with several grooming techniques applied (ungroomed, filtered, pruned and trimmed). See the text of the paper for more details. For the dijet events the distributions are presented as a function of the mean Mass of the two leading jets in bins of the mean p_\perp of the two jets.

Azimuthal correlations and event shapes in $Z$ + jets in $pp$ collisions at 7 TeV (CMS_2013_I1209721)

Spires | http://cms.cern.ch/iCMS/analysisadmin/cadi?ancode=EWK-11-021 | https://cds.cern.ch/record/1503578 | http://inspirehep.net/record/1209721 | arXiv:1301.1646 [hep-ex] (http://arxiv.org/abs/arXiv:1301.1646) | Submitted to Phys. Lett. B

Measurements are presented of event shapes and azimuthal correlations in the inclusive production of a Z boson in association with jets in proton-proton collisions. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 5.0/fb, collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC at $\sqrt{s} = 7$\;TeV. This to test perturbative QCD predictions and evaluate a substantial background to most physics channels. Studies performed as a function of jet multiplicity for inclusive $Z$ boson production and for $Z$ bosons with transverse-momenta greater than 150\;GeV, are compared to predictions from Monte Carlo event generators that include leading-order multiparton matrix-element (with up to four hard partons in the final state) and next-to-leading-order simulations of Z + 1-jet events. The results are corrected for detector effects, and can therefore be used as input to improve models for describing these processes.

Forward-backward asymmetry A_FB in Drell-Yan lepton pairs at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV (CMS_2013_I1122847)

Spires | Phys. Lett. B 718 (2013) 752 | doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2012.10.082 | http://arxiv.org/abs/1207.3973

This analysis measures the forward-backward asymmetry $A_{FB}$ in Drell-Yan events at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. Both the individual and combined electron and muon pair channels are analyzed. In four rapidity regions, $A_{FB}$ is given as a function of the lepton mass. The data, recorded with the CMS detector, corresponds to an integrated luminosity of $5\,\textrm{fb}^{-1}$.

Measurement of the underlying event activity in the Drell-Yan process at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV (CMS_2012_I1107658)

Spires | CMS-QCD-11-012 | CERN-PH-EP-2012-085 | arXiv:1204.1411 [hep-ex]

A measurement of the underlying event activity using Drell-Yan events using muonic final state. The production of charged particles with pseudorapidity $|\eta| < 2$ and transverse momentum $p_\perp > 0.5\,\text{GeV}/c$ is studied in towards, transverse and away region w.r.t. to the direction of di-muon system. The UE activity is measured in terms of of a particle density and an energy density. The particle density is computed as the average number of primary charged particles per unit pseudorapidity and per unit azimuth. The energy density is expressed in terms of the average of the scalar sum of the transverse momenta of primary charged particles per unit pseudorapidity and azimuth. The ratio of the energy and particle density is also reported in 3 regions. UE activity is studied as a function of invariant mass of muon pair ($M_{\mu\mu}$) by limiting the ISR contribution by requiring transverse momentum of muon pair $p_\perp(\mu\mu) < 5\,\text{GeV}/c$. The $p_\perp(\mu\mu)$ dependence is studied for the events having $M_{\mu\mu}$ in window of 81--101 GeV/$c$. The normalized charged particle multiplicity and $p_\perp$ spectrum of the charged particles in three regions also been reported for events having $M_{\mu\mu}$ in window of 81--101 GeV/$c$. Multiplicity and $p_\perp$ spectra in the transverse region are also reported, for events having $p_\perp(\mu\mu) < 5\,\text{GeV}/c$.

Measurement of differential $Z/\gamma^*$ $p_T$ and y (CMS_2012_I941555)

Spires | Phys.Rev. D85 (2012) 032002 | arXiv:1110.4973 | CMS-EWK-10-010 | CERN-PH-EP-2011-169

Cross section as a function of $p_T$ and y of the Z boson decaying into muons in p p collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV. $p_T$ and y cross sections are measured for $60 < m_{\mu\mu} < 120$ GeV. The $p_T$ cross section is measured for lepton $p_T > 20$ GeV and $\eta < 2.1$, while the y cross section is extrapolated to all lepton $p_T$ and $\eta$. This measurement was performed using 36 pb$^{-1}$ of data collected during 2010 with the CMS detector at the LHC.

Differential cross-sections of $\mathrm{Z}/\gamma^* \to e^{+}e^{-}$ vs rapidity and $\phi^*$ (LHCB_2012_I1208102)

Spires | J. High Energy Phys. 02 (2013) 106 | doi:10.1007/JHEP02(2013)106 | arXiv:1212.4620 [hep-ex]

Measurement of the $pp \to \mathrm{Z}^0$ cross-section in the $\mathrm{Z}/\gamma \to e^{+}e^{-}$ mode at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV. Daughter electrons are required to have $p_T > 20$ GeV/$c$, $2 < \eta < 4.5$ and the dielectron invariant mass in range 60-120 GeV/$c^2$. The cross-section is given as a function of $Z$ rapidity and an angular variable ($\phi^*$) closely related to $Z$ transverse momentum (derived from the lepton pseudorapidity and azimuthal angle differences). For event generators implementing cross-section QCD corrections only at LO the distributions are normalized to the cross-section measured in data $76.0 \pm 0.8 \pm 2.0 \pm 2.6 \pm 0.4$ pb, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, the third is due to luminosity uncertainty and the fourth to FSR corrections.
