| Measurement of top quark pair production in association with a W or Z boson using event reconstruction techniques | ||
| CMS Collaboration | ||
| July 2015 | ||
| Abstract: A measurement of top quark pair production in association with a W or Z boson is presented, using 8 TeV proton-proton collision data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.5 fb$^{-1}$, collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC. Final states are selected in which the associated W boson decays to a charged lepton and a neutrino ($\mathrm{W} \rightarrow \ell\nu$) or the Z boson decays to two charged leptons ($\mathrm{Z} \rightarrow \ell\ell$), where $\ell$ refers to an electron or muon. The $\mathrm{t \bar{t} W}$ cross section is measured to be $\sigma(\mathrm{t \bar{t} W}) = 382^{+117}_{-102}$ fb with a significance of 4.8 standard deviations from the background-only hypothesis. The $\mathrm{t \bar{t} Z}$ cross section is measured to be $\sigma(\mathrm{t \bar{t} Z}) = 242^{+65}_{-55}$ fb with a significance of 6.4 standard deviations from the background-only hypothesis. These measurements are used to find bounds for five anomalous dimension-six operators which would affect the $\mathrm{t \bar{t} W}$ and $\mathrm{t \bar{t} Z}$ cross sections. | ||

Dominant leading order Feynman diagrams for $ {\mathrm {t}\overline {\mathrm {t}}} {\mathrm {W}}^{+}$ and $ {\mathrm {t}\overline {\mathrm {t}}} {\mathrm {Z}} $ production at the LHC. The charge conjugate process of $ {\mathrm {t}\overline {\mathrm {t}}} {\mathrm {W}}^{+}$ produces $ {\mathrm {t}\overline {\mathrm {t}}} {\mathrm {W}}^{-}$. |

Figure 2-a:
Distributions for match scores with signal and background yields from the final fit described in Section Results-SM. The left plot shows the match score for partially reconstructed hadronic $ {\mathrm {t}\overline {\mathrm {t}}} $ systems in same-flavor opposite-sign dilepton events with six or more jets. The center and right plots show scores for fully reconstructed semi-leptonic $ {\mathrm {t}\overline {\mathrm {t}}} $ systems in events with at least four jets, and a same-sign electron-muon pair, or three leptons, respectively. The 68% CL uncertainty in the signal plus background prediction is represented by hash marks in the stack histogram, and a green shaded region in the data-to-prediction ratio plot. The orange line shows the $ {\mathrm {t}\overline {\mathrm {t}}} {\mathrm {Z}} $ signal normalized to the expected yields. ``Other'' includes $ {\mathrm {t}\overline {\mathrm {t}}} \gamma $, $ {\mathrm {t}\overline {\mathrm {t}}} \gamma ^{*}$, $ {\mathrm {t}\overline {\mathrm {t}}} {\mathrm {W}} {\mathrm {W}}$, tb$ {\mathrm {Z}}$, WWW, WWZ, and W$^{\pm }$W$^{\pm }$. |
