JET CROSS-SECTION MEASUREMENTS IN CMS

Inclusive Jet Cross-section Measurements at Cdf

The measurement of the inclusive jet cross section at the Tevatron is an important test of perturbative QCD (pQCD) predictions over more than 8 orders of magnitude, probing distances down to 10m. The increased center-of-mass energy in Run II (from 1.8 TeV to 1.96 TeV), the highly upgraded CDF detector1, and the amount of data collected allow jet measurements in an extended region of jet transve...

Cross Section Measurement at CMS

The startup of the Large Hadron Collider will allow scientists to probe energy scales that existed picoseconds after the Big Bang. Monte Carlo samples of many Standard Model processes are produced to simulate the conditions in the Compact Muon Solenoid detector. Data analysis techniques are developed to measure the cross section of the WZ 3e(e, 1u) decay channel. The results are al = 723.4 + 27...

High Transverse Momentum 2-jet and 3-jet Cross Section Measurements in Photoproduction

Threshold Cross Section Measurements

Accurate measurements of particles masses, couplings and widths are possible by measuring production cross sections near threshold. We discuss the prospects for performing such measurements at a high luminosity muon collider.

Zz Cross Section Measurements

Results on the cross section measurement of Z boson pair–production at LEP 1,2 are presented. The more general case of neutral–current four–fermion production and the particular case of ZZ events enriched in b quarks are also discussed. All the results agree with the Standard Model predictions.
