Same-sign WW cross section

Experiment: ATLAS (LHC)

Inspire ID: 1298023

Status: VALIDATED

Authors: - Simone Pagan Griso - Christian Gutschow

References: - Expt page: ATLAS-STDM-2013-06 - Phys.Rev.Lett. 113 (2014) 141803 - DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.113.141803 - arXiv: 1405.6241

Beams: p+ p+

Beam energies: (4000.0, 4000.0)GeV

Run details: - p + p -> W W j j, where the W bosons decay leptonically

First measurement of W^±W^±jj, same-electric-charge diboson production in association with two jets, using 20.3fb⁻¹ of proton-proton collision data at $\sqrt{s} = 8$,TeV recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Events with two reconstructed same-charge leptons (e^±e^±, e^±μ^±, and μ^±μ^±) and two or more jets are analyzed. Production cross sections are measured in two fiducial regions, with different sensitivities to the electroweak and strong production mechanisms. First evidence for W^±W^±jj production and electroweak-only W^±W^±jj production is observed with a significance of 4.5 and 3.6 standard deviations, respectively.
