Measurement of forward W and Z boson production in pp collisions at s=8 TeV

et al.
Abstract

Measurements are presented of electroweak boson production using data from pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of s=8$$ \sqrt{s}=8 $$ TeV. The analysis is based on an integrated luminosity of 2.0 fb−1 recorded with the LHCb detector. The bosons are identified in the W → μν and Z → μ+μ− decay channels. The cross-sections are measured for muons in the pseudorapidity range 2.0 < η < 4.5, with transverse momenta pT> 20 GeV/c and, in the case of the Z boson, a dimuon mass within 60
