Abstract: Measurements of fiducial and total inclusive cross sections for W and Z boson production are presented in proton-proton collisions at $ \sqrt{s}= $ 5.02 and 13 TeV. Electron and muon decay modes ($ \ell=\mathrm{e} $ or $ \mu $) are studied in the data collected with the CMS detector in 2017, in dedicated runs with reduced instantaneous luminosity. The data sets correspond to integrated luminosities of 298 $ \pm $ 6 pb$^{-1}$ at 5.02 TeV and 206 $ \pm $ 5 pb$^{-1}$ at 13 TeV. Measured values of the products of the total inclusive cross sections and the branching fractions at 5.02 TeV are $ \sigma(\mathrm{p}\mathrm{p} \to \mathrm{W} + \mathrm{X})\mathcal{B}(\mathrm{W} \to \ell\nu) = $ 7300 $ \pm $ 10 (stat) $ \pm $ 60 (syst) $ \pm $ 140 (lumi) pb, and $ \sigma(\mathrm{p}\mathrm{p} \to \mathrm{Z} + \mathrm{X})\mathcal{B}(\mathrm{Z}\to\ell^+\ell^-) = $ 669 $ \pm $ 2 (stat) $ \pm $ 6 (syst) $ \pm $ 13 (lumi) pb for the dilepton invariant mass in the range of 60-120 GeV. The corresponding results at 13 TeV are 20480 $ \pm $ 10 (stat) $ \pm $ 170 (syst) $ \pm $ 470 (lumi) pb and 1952 $ \pm $ 4 (stat) $ \pm $ 18 (syst) $ \pm $ 45 (lumi) pb. The measured values agree with cross section calculations at next-to-next-to-leading-order in perturbative quantum chromodynamics. Fiducial and total inclusive cross sections, ratios of cross sections of W$^{+}$ and W$^{-}$ production as well as inclusive W and Z boson production, and ratios of these measurements at 5.02 and 13 TeV are reported. | ||

Summary |
Fiducial and total inclusive cross sections for W and Z boson production measured in proton-proton collisions at 5.02 TeV and 13 TeV are presented. Electron and muon decay modes are studied in the data collected with the CMS detector in 2017, in dedicated runs with reduced instantaneous luminosity. The data sets correspond to integrated luminosities of 298 $ \pm $ 6 pb$^{-1}$ at 5.02 TeV and 206 $ \pm $ 5 pb$^{-1}$ at 13 TeV. Measured values of the products of the total inclusive cross sections and the branching fractions are $ \sigma(\mathrm{p}\mathrm{p} \to \mathrm{W} + \mathrm{X})\mathcal{B}(\mathrm{W} \to \ell\nu ) = $ 7300 $ \pm $ 10 (stat) $ \pm $ 60 (syst) $ \pm $ 140 (lumi) pb, and $ \sigma(\mathrm{p}\mathrm{p} \to \mathrm{Z} + \mathrm{X})\mathcal{B}(\mathrm{Z} \to \ell^+\ell^-) = $ 669 $ \pm $ 2 (stat) $ \pm $ 6 (syst) $ \pm $ 13 (lumi) pb for the dilepton invariant mass in the range of 60-120 GeV at 5.02 TeV, and correspondingly 20480 $ \pm $ 10 (stat) $ \pm $ 170 (syst) $ \pm $ 470 (lumi) pb and 1952 $ \pm $ 4 (stat) $ \pm $ 18 (syst) $ \pm $ 45 (lumi) pb at 13 TeV. The measured values agree with cross section calculations at next-to-next-to-leading-order in perturbative quantum chromodynamics. Fiducial and total inclusive cross sections, ratios of cross sections of W$^{+}$ to W$^{-}$, W to Z, and 13 TeV to 5.02 TeV measurements are reported. The fiducial inclusive cross sections for W and Z boson productions at 5.02 TeV achieve a precision of less than 2%, which is the most precisely measured cross sections from the CMS experiment. |
