Abstract: The first measurements of diboson production cross sections at a center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV are reported. They are based on 304 pb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. Events with two, three, or four charged leptons (electrons or muons) in the final state are analyzed. The WW, WZ, and ZZ total cross sections are measured as $\sigma_{\mathrm{WW}}=$ 36.5 ${}^{+5.5}_{-5.1}$ (stat) ${}^{+2.6}_{-2.5}$ (syst) pb, $\sigma_{\mathrm{WZ}}=$ 6.4 ${}^{+2.4}_{-2.1}$ (stat) ${}^{+0.5}_{-0.3}$ (syst) pb, and $\sigma_{\mathrm{ZZ}}=$ 5.3 ${}^{+2.5}_{-2.0}$ (stat) ${}^{+0.5}_{-0.4}$ (syst) pb. All measurements are in good agreement with next-to-next-to-leading-order QCD times next-to-leading order electroweak cross section calculations. | ||
