© (publication year), (publisher). All rights reserved. The jet fragmentation function and transverse profile for jets with 25 GeV < pTjet < 500 GeV and |ηjet| < 1.2 produced in proton-proton collisions with a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV are presented. The measurement is performed using data with an integrated luminosity of 36 pb−1. Jets are reconstructed and their momentum measured using calorimetric information. The momenta of the charged particle constituents are measured using the tracking system. The distributions corrected for detector effects are compared with various Monte Carlo event generators and generator tunes. Several of these choices show good agreement with the measured fragmentation function. None of these choices reproduce both the transverse profile and fragmentation function over the full kinematic range of the measurement.Measurement of the lepton charge asymmetry in inclusive W production in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV

Abstract:
A measurement of the lepton charge asymmetry in inclusive pp → WX production at √s = 7TeV is presented based on data recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 pb -1. This high precision measurement of the lepton charge asymmetry, performed in both the W → eν and W → μν channels, provides new insights into parton distribution functions.

Abstract:
A measurement of the cross-section for Υ(1S)→μ+μ- production in proton-proton collisions at centre of mass energy of 7 TeV is presented. The cross-section is measured as a function of the Υ(1S) transverse momentum in two bins of rapidity, |yΥ(1S)|<1.2 and 1.2<|yΥ(1S)|<2.4. The measurement requires that both muons have transverse momentum pTμ>4 GeV and pseudorapidity |ημ|<2.5 in order to reduce theoretical uncertainties on the acceptance, which depend on the poorly known polarisation. The results are based on an integrated luminosity of 1.13 pb-1, collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The cross-section measurement is compared to theoretical predictions: it agrees to within a factor of two with a prediction based on the NRQCD model including colour-singlet and colour-octet matrix elements as implemented in Pythia while it disagrees by up to a factor of ten with the next-to-leading order prediction based on the colour-singlet model. © 2011 CERN.Measurements of inclusive W and Z cross sections in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV The CMS collaboration
