ATLAS_2014_I1298023

Same-sign WW cross section
Experiment: ATLAS (LHC)
Inspire ID: 1298023
Status: VALIDATED
Authors:
  • Simone Pagan Griso
  • Christian Gutschow
References: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 $W^\pm W^\pm jj$, same-electric-charge diboson production in association with two jets, using $20.3 {\rm fb}^{-1}$ 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 ($e^\pm e^\pm$, $e^\pm \mu^\pm$, and $\mu^\pm \mu^\pm$) 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 $W^\pm W^\pm j j$ production and electroweak-only $W^\pm W^\pm jj$ production is observed with a significance of 4.5 and 3.6 standard deviations, respectively.
