We report in this work the production of $W^+W^-$ pairs gauge bosons associated with 0, 1 and 2 jets in proton-proton collisions at LHC with an energy of 14 TeV in the center of mass. These processes are produced at leading-order (LO) and next-to-leading-order (NLO) with QCD corrections in the standard model, using MadGraph5@aMC. For a realistic description of the processes, we match the hard scattering processes with Pythia8 parton showering and hadronization. The obtained events are run through the fast detector simulation, Delphes, which serves to accurately model the ATLAS and CMS detectors and the final state reconstructions that are performed. We analyze the total cross sections according on two cuts in jet transverse momentum p T,j > 20 GeV and p T,j > 100 GeV. We describe the important numerical aspects of our calculations by presenting transverse momentum and rapidity distributions at partonic fixed order and at parton shower for both W and the $W^+W^-$ pair.
The 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 $pm$ 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.
A model for exclusive diffractive resonance production in proton-proton collisions at LHC energies is presented. This model is based on the convolution of the Donnachie-Landshoff parameterisation of Pomeron flux in the proton with the Pomeron cross section for resonance production. The hadronic cross section for f$_{0}$(980) and f$_{2}$(1270) production at midrapidity is given differentially in mass and transverse momentum of the resonance. The proton fractional longitudinal momentum loss is presented.
We establish some signatures of the extra bilepton boson ${X^0}$ predicted in the ${SU (3)_C times SU (3)_L times U (1)_X}$ model with right-handed neutrinos. We analyze the process $p + p longrightarrow X^0 +X^{0*} + {hbox {anything}}$, for center of mass energy regime of the Large Hadron Collider. The main contributions for the neutral bilepton production in $q bar q$ process come from the $s-$channel ($Z$ and $Z^prime$ exchanges), when the initial quarks have charge 2/3, and from an additional $t-$channel (heavy quark exchange) when they have -1/3 of the positron electric charge. We calculate some distributions of the final bileptons and from these results we conclude that LHC can show a clear signature for the existence of the $X^0$ predicted in the 3-3-1 model.
Triple gauge boson associated production at the LHC serves as an interesting channel to test the robustness of the Standard Model. Any deviation from its SM prediction may indicate possible existence of relevant new physics, e.g., anomalous quartic gauge boson couplings. In this paper, a Monte-Carlo feasibility study of measuring WWA production with pure leptonic decays and probing anomalous quartic gauge-boson (e.g., WWAA) couplings, is presented in detail for the first time, with parton shower and detector simulation effects taken into account. Our results show that at the sqrt{s} = 14 TeV LHC with an integrated luminosity of 100 (30) fb-1, one can reach a significance of 9 (5) sigma to observe the SM WWA production, and can constrain at the 95% CL the anomalous WWAA coupling parameters, e.g., a_{0,c}^W/Lambda^2 (see Ref.[15] for their definitions), at 10^{-5} GeV^{-2}, respectively.
The sea quark contribution to the nucleon spin is an important piece for a complete understanding of the nucleon spin structure. The production of $W$ bosons in longitudinally polarized $p + p$ collisions at RHIC provides an unique probe for the sea quark polarization, through the parity-violating single-spin asymmetry, $A_L$. At the STAR experiment, $W$ bosons can be effectively detected through the leptonic decay channel $W to e u $ with the Electromagnetic Calorimeters and Time Projection Chamber at mid-rapidity. The previous STAR measurements of $A_L$ for $W$ boson production from datasets taken in 2011 and 2012 have provided significant constraints on the helicity distribution functions of $bar u$ and $bar d$ quarks. In 2013 the STAR experiment collected $p+p$ data with an integrated luminosity of about 250 pb$^{-1}$ at $sqrt s$ = 510 GeV with an average beam polarization of about $56%$, which is about three times the total integrated luminosity of previous years. The final $A_L$ results from the STAR 2013 data sample are presented and are also combined with previous 2011+2012 results. The comparison with theoretical expectations suggests a flavor asymmetry with $Delta bar{u}(x)$ $>$$Delta bar{d}(x)$ for sea quark helicity distributions with $0.05 < x < 0.25$.
