Candidates for Z → τ τ decays are identified through reconstructed final states with two muons, a muon and an electron, a muon and a hadron, or an electron and a hadron. The production cross-section for Z bosons, with invariant mass between 60 and 120 GeV/c 2, which decay to τ leptons with transverse momenta greater than 20 GeV/c and pseudorapidities between 2.0 and 4.5, is measured to be σ pp→Z→ττ = 71.4 ± 3.5 ± 2.8 ± 2.5 pb; the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic, and the third is due to the uncertainty on the integrated luminosity. The ratio of the cross-sections for Z → τ τ to Z → μμ is determined to be 0.93 ± 0.09, where the uncertainty is the combination of statistical, systematic, and luminosity uncertainties of the two measurements. 2014-07-25T07:50:12Z 2014-07-25T07:50:12Z 2013-01 2014-07-25T07:50:12Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 1126-6708 https://hdl.handle.net/2445/56284 619644 eng Reproducció del document publicat a: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/JHEP01(2013)111 Journal of High Energy Physics, 2013, vol. 1301 , num. 111, p. 1-19 http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/JHEP01(2013)111 cc-by (c) The LHCb Collaboration, 2013 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess 20 p. application/pdf Springer Verlag Articles publicats en revistes (Física Quàntica i Astrofísica)
