Study ofWboson production in association with beauty and charm

Abstract: The associated production of a W boson with a jet originating from either a light parton or heavy-flavor quark is studied in the forward region using proton-proton collisions. The analysis uses data corresponding to integrated luminosities of 1.0 and 2.0 fb −1 collected with the LHCb detector at center-of-mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV, respectively. The W bosons are reconstructed using the W → μν decay and muons with a transverse momentum, p T , larger than 20 GeV in the pseudorapidity range 2.0 < η < 4.5. The … Show more

“…A preliminary measurement has been performed by the collaboration at 7 TeV [204] and work is ongoing to finalize the result with the Run-I dataset. Measurements of the associated production of Z bosons with b-quarks and D mesons have been performed in [205,206] while more recent measurements of W production in association with beauty and charm jets are also presented in [207]. In the latter measurement, the jets are identified using the algorithm outlined in [208] achieving a 65% (25%) efficiency for identifying beauty (charm) jets with a corresponding light-jet mis-tag rate of 0.3%.…”

“…As in Refs. [41][42][43], jets are required to satisfy p T (j) > 20 GeV and 2.2 < η(j) < 4.2 to ensure nearly uniform jet reconstruction and c-jet-identification efficiencies, and only the highest-p T jet in each event is considered (all other jets are ignored). Ref.…”
