Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A measurement of the production cross section ratio [sigma]([chi]b2(1P)) / [sigma]([chi]b1(1P)) is presented. The [chi]b1 (1P) and [chi]b2(1P) bottomonium states, promptly produced in pp collisions at [arrow]"=8 TeV, are detected by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC through their radiative decays [chi]b1,2(1P) 2 + [gamma] . The emitted photons are measured through their conversion to ee− pairs, whose reconstruction allows the two states to be resolved. The [Upsilon](1S) is measured through its decay to two muons. An event sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.7 fb−1 is used to measure the cross section ratio in a phase-space region defined by the photon pseudorapidity, y [Upsilon].

This book was released on 1993 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Stanford Linear Collider at SLAC is an ee− collider running at √s ≈ M{sub Z} and has provided an electron beam with longitudinal polarization at the SLC interaction point. The 1992 polarized run data were taken with the SLD detector. The author presents here the measurement of the left-right cross section asymmetry (A{sub LR}) for the 1992 run. The polarized run began in May and ended in September of 1992 at a mean center-of-mass energy of 91.56 GeV. Tower hit information of the liquid argon calorimeter and endcap warm iron calorimeter pads were used for selecting hadronic Z° or tau pair events. The SLD detector collected about 11,000 events during this run. The magnitude of the longitudinal polarization of the electron beam was continuously measured by a polarimeter based on Compton scattering, and was monitored by a polarimeter based on Moller scattering. The luminosity-weighted average longitudinal polarization during the 1992 run was measured as 22.4 ± 0.6 (syst.)%. From these data, the value of A{sub LR} has been measured to be 0.102 ± 0.044 (stat.) ± 0.003 (syst.), corresponding to an effective electroweak mixing angle (sin2?{sub w}{sup eff}) of 0.2375 ± 0.0056 (stat.) ± 0.0004 (syst.). The error is dominated by the statistical error. This value of sin2?{sub w}{sup eff} is in good agreement with existing measurements from other experiments. Studies of improvements in A{sub LR} event selection for future high-statistics runs are also discussed.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Measurements are presented of fiducial and total inclusive cross sections for W-plus, W-minus, and Z bosons, decaying to leptonic or muonic final states, in proton-proton collisions at 13 TeV center-of-mass energies, using the ATLAS Detector at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. Data used in these measurements correspond to 81 inverse picobarns of integrated luminosity, recorded during June and July 2015. Cross sections are measured in six independent analysis channels, corresponding to the electronic and muonic final states of W-plus, W-minus, and Z bosons. Electron and muon channels are combined to obtain fiducial and total cross-sections-times-leptonic-branching-ratios for each of W-plus, W-minus, and Z. Lepton universality ratios for W and Z are calculated and found to be compatible with Standard Model expectations and global averages. The ratio of W and Z fiducial cross sections is measured. The ratio of W-plus and W-minus fiducial cross sections is measured. All measurements are compared to NNLO(QCD)+NLO(EW) predictions, based on a selection of modern proton parton distribution functions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A measurement of W {yields} ev + n-jet cross sections in p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.96 TeV using the Collider Detector at Fermilab in Run II is presented. The measurement is based on an integrated luminosity of 320 pb{sup -1}, and includes events with jet multiplicity from {ge} 1 to {ge} 4. In each jet multiplicity sample the differential and cumulative cross sections with respect to the transverse energy of the n{sup th}-leading jet are measured. For W + {ge} 2 jets the differential cross section with respect to the 2-leading jets invariant mass m{sub j{sub 1}j{sub 2}} and angular separation {Delta}R{sub j{sub 1}j{sub 2}} is also reported. The data are compared to predictions from Monte Carlo simulations.
