Measurement of the $ \mathrm{ W^+W^-} $ cross section in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV and limits on anomalous WW$ \gamma$ and WWZ couplings
Eur. Phys. J. C 73 (2013) 2610
Abstract: A measurement of $W^+W^-$ production in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV is presented. The data were collected with the CMS detector at the LHC, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 4.92 +/- 0.11 inverse femtobarns. The $W^+W^-$ candidates consist of two oppositely charged leptons, electrons or muons, accompanied by large missing transverse energy. The $W^+W^-$ production cross section is measured to be 52.4 +/- 2.0 (stat.) +/- 4.5 (syst.) +/- 1.2 (lum.) pb. This measurement is consistent with the standard model prediction of 47.0 +/- 2.0 pb at next-to-leading order. Stringent limits on the $WW_\gamma$ and WWZ anomalous triple gauge-boson couplings are set.
