Measurement of forward W and Z boson production in association with jets in proton-proton collisions at √s=8 TeV. J. High Energ. Phys. 2016, 131 (2016). https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP05(2016)1311029-8479http://hdl.handle.net/10347/22472The production of W and Z bosons in association with jets is studied in the forward region of proton-proton collisions collected at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.98 ± 0.02 fb−1. The W boson is identified using its decay to a muon and a neutrino, while the Z boson is identified through its decay to a muon pair. Total cross-sections are measured and combined into charge ratios, asymmetries, and ratios of W +jet and Z+jet production cross-sections. Differential measurements are also performed as a function of both boson and jet kinematic variables. All results are in agreement with Standard Model predictions.eng© CERN, for the benefit of the LHCb Collaboration. Article funded by SCOAP3.
