AbstractThe production of Z boson pairs in proton–proton ($${\mathrm{p}} {\mathrm{p}} $$ p p ) collisions, $${{\mathrm{p}} {\mathrm{p}} \rightarrow ({\mathrm{Z}}/\gamma ^*)({\mathrm{Z}}/\gamma ^*) \rightarrow 2\ell 2\ell '}$$ p p → ( Z / γ ∗ ) ( Z / γ ∗ ) → 2 ℓ 2 ℓ ′ , where $${\ell ,\ell ' = {\mathrm{e}}}$$ ℓ , ℓ ′ = e or $${{\upmu }}$$ μ , is studied at a center-of-mass energy of 13$$\,\text {TeV}$$ TeV with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 137$$\,\text {fb}^{-1}$$ fb - 1 , collected during 2016–2018. The $${\mathrm{Z}} {\mathrm{Z}} $$ Z Z production cross section, $$\sigma _{\text {tot}} ({\mathrm{p}} {\mathrm{p}} \rightarrow {\mathrm{Z}} {\mathrm{Z}} ) = 17.4 \pm 0.3 \,\text {(stat)} \pm 0.5 \,\text {(syst)} \pm 0.4 \,\text {(theo)} \pm 0.3 \,\text {(lumi)} \text { pb} $$ σ tot ( p p → Z Z ) = 17.4 ± 0.3 (stat) ± 0.5 (syst) ± 0.4 (theo) ± 0.3 (lumi) pb , measured for events with two pairs of opposite-sign, same-flavor leptons produced in the mass region $${60< m_{\ell ^+\ell ^-} < 120\,\text {GeV}}$$ 60 < m ℓ + ℓ - < 120 GeV is consistent with standard model predictions. Differential cross sections are also measured and agree with theoretical predictions. The invariant mass distribution of the four-lepton system is used to set limits on anomalous $${\mathrm{Z}} {\mathrm{Z}} {\mathrm{Z}} $$ Z Z Z and $${{\mathrm{Z}} {\mathrm{Z}} \gamma }$$ Z Z γ couplings.

Abstract The production cross sections for prompt open-charm mesons in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV are reported. The measurement is performed using a data sample collected by the CMS experiment corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 29 nb−1. The differential production cross sections of the D∗±, D±, and D0$$ \left({\overline{\mathrm{D}}}^0\right) $$ D ¯ 0 mesons are presented in ranges of transverse momentum and pseudorapidity 4 < pT< 100 GeV and |η| < 2.1, respectively. The results are compared to several theoretical calculations and to previous measurements.

AbstractCollinear (small-angle) and large-angle, as well as soft and hard radiations are investigated in three-jet and $${\text {Z}}$$ Z  + two-jet events collected in proton-proton collisions at the LHC. The normalized production cross sections are measured as a function of the ratio of transverse momenta of two jets and their angular separation. The measurements in the three-jet and $${\text {Z}}$$ Z  + two-jet events are based on data collected at a center-of-mass energy of 8$$\,{\text {TeV}}$$ TeV , corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.8$$\,\text {fb}^{-1}$$ fb - 1 . The $${\text {Z}}$$ Z  + two-jet events are reconstructed in the dimuon decay channel of the $${\text {Z}}$$ Z  boson. The three-jet measurement is extended to include $$\sqrt{s} = 13\,{\text {TeV}} $$ s = 13 TeV data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.3$$\,\text {fb}^{-1}$$ fb - 1 . The results are compared to predictions from event generators that include parton showers, multiple parton interactions, and hadronization. The collinear and soft regions are in general well described by parton showers, whereas the regions of large angular separation are often best described by calculations using higher-order matrix elements.

AbstractAn experimental procedure is proposed to perform measurements of differential cross sections for vector boson production which can be compared to fixed-order QCD predictions with improved accuracy. The procedure relies on applying theoretical acceptance corrections computed as a function of the transverse momentum of the W/Z boson, $$p_T$$ p T , to the experimental measurement, rather than comparing data directly against fiducial fixed-order predictions. It is demonstrated that, contrary to standard fiducial computations, these acceptance factors vary little at low $$p_T$$ p T , so they can be reliably computed using fixed-order perturbation theory. An example analysis is performed using the ATLAS measurement of the Z-boson production cross section at center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. The resulting full phase space measurement of the cross section differential in the boson rapidity is compared to theoretical predictions computed with next-to-next-to leading-order accuracy in QCD. Further extensions of the approach which include different types of measurements and improved theoretical predictions are discussed.

Abstract Measurements of the total and differential fiducial cross sections for the Z boson decaying into two neutrinos are presented at the LHC in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The data were collected by the CMS detector in 2016 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1. In these measurements, events are selected containing an imbalance in transverse momentum and one or more energetic jets. The fiducial differential cross section is measured as a function of the Z boson transverse momentum. The results are combined with a previous measurement of charged-lepton decays of the Z boson. The measured total fiducial cross section for events with Z boson transverse momentum greater than 200 GeV is $$ {3000}_{-170}^{+180} $$ 3000 − 170 + 180 fb.

Abstract Measurements of the differential cross sections of Z + jets and γ + jets production, and their ratio, are presented as a function of the boson transverse momentum. Measurements are also presented of the angular distribution between the Z boson and the closest jet. The analysis is based on pp collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb−1 recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC. The results, corrected for detector effects, are compared with various theoretical predictions. In general, the predictions at higher orders in perturbation theory show better agreement with the measurements. This work provides the first measurement of the ratio of the differential cross sections of Z + jets and γ + jets production at 13 TeV, as well as the first direct measurement of Z bosons emitted collinearly with a jet.

This is a report at the conference Physics In Collision 2013. The experimental results on physics of diboson production are reviewed. The measurements use pp collision at the LHC with center-of-mass energy [Formula: see text] and 8 TeV, and [Formula: see text] collision at the Tevatron with [Formula: see text]. These include measurements of Wγ, Zγ, WW, WZ and ZZ production. The results are compared with Standard Model predictions, and are interpreted in terms of constraints on charged and neutral anomalous triple gauge couplings.

Abstract A measurement for inclusive 2- and 3-jet events of the azimuthal correlation between the two jets with the largest transverse momenta, $$\varDelta \phi _{12}$$Δϕ12, is presented. The measurement considers events where the two leading jets are nearly collinear (“back-to-back”) in the transverse plane and is performed for several ranges of the leading jet transverse momentum. Proton-proton collision data collected with the CMS experiment at a center-of-mass energy of $$13\,\text {Te}\text {V} $$13Te and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $$35.9{\,\text {fb}^{-1}} $$35.9fb-1 are used. Predictions based on calculations using matrix elements at leading-order and next-to-leading-order accuracy in perturbative quantum chromodynamics supplemented with leading-log parton showers and hadronization are generally in agreement with the measurements. Discrepancies between the measurement and theoretical predictions are as large as 15%, mainly in the region $$177^\circ< \varDelta \phi _{12} < 180^\circ $$177∘<Δϕ12<180∘. The 2- and 3-jet measurements are not simultaneously described by any of models.

Abstract We study the sensitivity of anomalous neutral triple gauge couplings (aNTGC) via $$pp \rightarrow ZZ$$pp→ZZ production in the 4$$\ell $$ℓ channel at 100 TeV center of mass energy of future circular hadron collider, . The analysis including the realistic detector effects is performed in the mode where both Z bosons decay into same-flavor, oppositely charged lepton pairs. The sensitivities to the charge–parity (CP)-conserving couplings $$C_{{\tilde{B}}W} / \Lambda ^{4}$$CB~W/Λ4 and CP-violating couplings $$C_{WW} / \Lambda ^{4}$$CWW/Λ4, $$C_{BW} / \Lambda ^{4}$$CBW/Λ4 and $$C_{BB} / \Lambda ^{4}$$CBB/Λ4 obtained at 95% Confidence Level using the invariant mass distribution of the 4$$\ell $$ℓ system reconstructing the leading and sub-leading Z boson candidates are $$[-\,0.09, \,\, +\,0.09]$$[-0.09,+0.09], $$[-\,0.21, \,\, +\,0.21]$$[-0.21,+0.21], $$[-\,0.26, \,\, +\,0.26]$$[-0.26,+0.26], and $$[-\,0.10, \,\, +\,0.10]$$[-0.10,+0.10] in units of $$\hbox {TeV}^{-4}$$TeV-4, respectively.
