Measurement of the cross-section and charge asymmetry of W bosons produced in proton-proton collisions at s√=8 TeV with the ATLAS detector Aad, G. Aguilar Saavedra, Juan Antonio Atlas Collaboration This paper presents measurements of the W+→μ+ν and W−→μ−ν cross-sections and the associated charge asymmetry as a function of the absolute pseudorapidity of the decay muon. The data were collected in proton--proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV with the ATLAS experiment at the LHC and correspond to a total integrated luminosity of 20.2 fb−1. The precision of the cross-section measurements varies between 0.8% to 1.5% as a function of the pseudorapidity, excluding the 1.9% uncertainty on the integrated luminosity. The charge asymmetry is measured with an uncertainty between 0.002 and 0.003. The results are compared with predictions based on next-to-next-to-leading-order calculations with various parton distribution functions and have the sensitivity to discriminate between them. 2020-04-28T11:57:02Z 2020-04-28T11:57:02Z 2019-09-12 info:eu-repo/semantics/article Aad, G., Abbott, B., Abbott, D.
