Title: Phenomenology of the $Z$ boson plus jet process at NNLO

Abstract

Here, we present a detailed phenomenological study of Z-boson production in association with a jet through next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in perturbative QCD. Fiducial cross sections and differential distributions for both 8 TeV and 13 TeV LHC collisions are presented. We study the impact of different parton distribution functions (PDFs) on predictions for the Z + jet process. Upon inclusion of the NNLO corrections, the residual scale uncertainty is reduced such that both the total rate and the transverse momentum distributions can be used to discriminate between various PDF sets.

A comparison of NNLO QCD predictions with 7 TeV ATLAS and CMS data for V+jet processes

Journal Article Boughezal, Radja ; Liu, Xiaohui ; Petriello, Frank - Physics Letters B

Here, we perform a detailed comparison of next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD predictions for the W+jet and Z+jet processes with 7 TeV experimental data from ATLAS and CMS. We observe excellent agreement between theory and data for most studied observables, which span several orders of magnitude in both cross section and energy. For some observables, such as theH_T distribution, the NNLO QCD corrections are essential for resolving existing discrepancies between theory and data.

Measurements of $W^{\pm} Z$ production cross sections in $p p$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 8 TeV$ with the ATLAS detector and limits on anomalous gauge boson self-couplings

Journal Article Aad, G. ; Abbott, B. ; Abdallah, J. ; ... - Physical Review D

This paper presents measurements of W±Z production in pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. The gauge bosons are reconstructed using their leptonic decay modes into electrons and muons. The data were collected in 2012 by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb^-1. The measured inclusive cross section in the detector fiducial region is σW±Z→ 'ν=35.1±0.9(stat)±0.8(sys)±0.8(lumi) fb, for one leptonic decay channel. In comparison, the next-to-leading-order Standard Model expectation is 30.0±2.1 fb. Cross sections for W+Z and W-Z production and their ratio are presented as well as differentialmore »« less
