The purely electroweak (EW) cross section for the production of two jets in association with a Z boson, in proton-proton collisions at √ s = 8 TeV, is measured using data recorded by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb − 1 . The electroweak cross section for the (cid:96)(cid:96) jj final state (with (cid:96) = e or µ and j representing the quarks produced in the hard interaction) in the kinematic region defined by M (cid:96)(cid:96) > 50 GeV, M…

Higgs constraints from vector boson fusion and scattering

A bstractWe present results on 4-lepton + 2-jet production, the partonic processes most commonly described as vector boson pair production in the Vector Boson Fusion (VBF) mode. This final state…

Weakly Supervised Classification For High Energy Physics

A classification algorithm that applies the machine learning paradigm of Learning from Label Proportions (LLP) to enable learning on unlabelled data and is robust to underlying mismodelling of the simulated data unlike fully supervised learning.

In hadron-hadron collisions, production of Higgs bosons and other color-singlet systems can occur via fusion of electroweak bosons, occasionally leaving a ``rapidity gap'' in the underlying-event structure, which is studied to see whether it serves as a signature for detection of the Higgs Bosons, etc.

Abstract. We study central Z-boson production accompanied by rapidity gaps on either side as a way to gauge Higgs weak boson fusion production at the LHC. We analyse the possible backgrounds for the…
