Statistical Combination of Higgs Decay Channels and Determination of the Jet-Energy Scale of the CMS Experiment at the LHC
Abstract:
At the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), numerous events containing a Z~boson
decaying into two muons are produced. In many of these events, the Z~boson is boosted and balanced in transverse momentum by exactly one jet.
Since the kinematical properties of the muons can be measured very precisely with the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector, such events are ideal candidates for a data driven technique for the absolute jet energy scale determination and calibration.
