چکیده
Article history: Received 28 March 2012 Received in revised form 26 April 2012 Accepted 2 May 2012 Available online 7 May 2012 Editor: H. Weerts This Letter reports a measurement of the WW production cross section in √ s = 7 TeV pp collisions using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.02 fb−1 collected with the ATLAS detector. Using leptonic decays of oppositely charged W bosons, the total measured cross section is σ(pp → WW ) = 54.4± 4.0 (stat.)± 3.9 (syst.)± 2.0 (lumi.) pb, consistent with the Standard Model prediction of σ(pp → WW )= 44.4± 2.8 pb. Limits on anomalous electroweak triple-gauge couplings are extracted from a fit to the transverse-momentum distribution of the leading charged lepton in the event. © 2012 CERN.

متن کاملMeasurements of Diboson Production in pp collisions at 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector
The cross sections of all heavy vector boson pair production processes, namely WW , W Z and ZZ, have been determined with proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV with an integrated luminosity of 1.02fb −1. The measured production cross sections are in agreement with prediction from the SM. Limits on anomalous triple gauge boson couplings parameters have been set with ZZ and...

متن کاملObservation and measurement of Higgs boson decays to WW with the ATLAS detector
We report the observation of Higgs boson decays to WW based on an excess over background of 6.1 standard deviations in the dilepton final state, where the Standard Model expectation is 5.8 standard deviations. Evidence for the vector-boson fusion (VBF) production process is obtained with a significance of 3.2 standard deviations. The results are obtained from a data sample corresponding to an i...
