Abstract:

A study of the associated production of a Z boson and a charm quark jet (Z+c), and a comparison to production with a b quark jet (Z+b), in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8TeV are presented. The analysis uses a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7fb −1, collected with the CMS detector at the CERN LHC. The Z boson candidates are identified through their decays into pairs of electrons or muons. Jets originating from heavy flavour quarks are identified using semileptonic decays of c or b flavoured hadrons and hadronic decays of charm hadrons. The measurements are performed in the kinematic region with two leptons with p ℓ T >20GeV, |η ℓ |<2.1, 71<m ℓℓ<111GeV, and heavy flavour jets with p jet T >25GeV and |η jet |<2.5. The Z+c production cross section is measured to be σ(pp→Z+c+X)B(Z→ℓ + ℓ − )=8.8±0.5(stat)±0.6(syst)pb. The ratio of the Z+c and Z+b production cross sections is measured to be σ(pp→Z+c+X)/σ(pp→Z+b+X)=2.0±0.2(stat)±0.2(syst). The Z+c production cross section and the cross section ratio are also measured as a function of the transverse momentum of the Z boson and of the heavy flavour jet. ... mehr
