Angular correlations in three-jet events in ep collisions at HERA
Physical Review D - Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology 85:5 (2012)
Abstract:
Three-jet production in deep inelastic ep scattering and photoproduction was investigated with the ZEUS detector at HERA using an integrated luminosity of up to 127pb-1. Measurements of differential cross sections are presented as functions of angular correlations between the three jets in the final state and the proton-beam direction. These correlations provide a stringent test of perturbative QCD and show sensitivity to the contributions from different color configurations. Fixed-order perturbative calculations assuming the values of the color factors CF, CA, and TF as derived from a variety of gauge groups were compared to the measurements to study the underlying gauge group symmetry. The measured angular correlations in the deep inelastic ep scattering and photoproduction regimes are consistent with the admixture of color configurations as predicted by SU(3) and disfavour other symmetry groups, such as SU(N) in the limit of large N. © 2012 American Physical Society.Search for the Standard Model Higgs Boson Produced in Association with a $Z$ Boson in $p\bar{p}$ Collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 1.96$ TeV

Measurement of the W ±Z production cross section and limits on anomalous triple gauge couplings in proton-proton collisions at s=7 TeV with the ATLAS detector

Abstract:
This Letter presents a measurement of W ±Z production in 1.02 fb -1 of pp collision data at s=7 TeV collected by the ATLAS experiment in 2011. Doubly leptonic decay events are selected with electrons, muons and missing transverse momentum in the final state. In total 71 candidates are observed, with a background expectation of 12.1±1.4(stat.)-2.0+4.1(syst.) events. The total cross section for W ±Z production for Z/γ * masses within the range 66 GeV to 116 GeV is determined to be σWZtot=20.5-2.8+3.1(stat.)-1.3+1.4(syst.)-0.8+0.9(lumi.) pb, which is consistent with the Standard Model expectation of 17.30.8+1.3 pb. Limits on anomalous triple gauge boson couplings are extracted. © 2012 CERN.Search for strong gravity signatures in same-sign dimuon final states using the ATLAS detector at the LHC
