Introduction
D.Bourilkov, Florida, CMS EW Corrections in Z and DY 2
Non-resonant contributions from s-channel * exchange
Gauge invariance of photonic O() corrections splitting in QED (not discussed here) and pure weak O() corrections: Near Z peak:
QED corrections described by radiator functions Weak corrections absorbed in line shape parameters
Invariant mass Ml+
l- directly related to off-
shellness of Z boson EW corrections depend on the scales
probed; important for mass determinations (W), for high invariant masses of Z/*
Electroweak Corrections for Z/*
D.Bourilkov, Florida, CMS EW Corrections in Z and DY 3
At the TeV scale, large and significant impact of pure weak corrections; factors like Sudakov logs (from vertex and box corrections) modify the inclusive cross sections: ~ W ln2(2/MW
2) At = 1 TeV this is ~ 25 * W
Effects ~ 10 % in the TeV region Data in 2012 @ TeV will start probing at
this level of precision

Early Studies
• LHC SM workshop “SM Physics (and
more) at the LHC” CERN Yellow Report 2000-004 http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph/0003275
• Studies for 14 TeV• Highlighted the
importance of pure EW corrections
D.Bourilkov, Florida, CMS EW Corrections in Z and DY 5
Z Cross Sections @ 8 TeV
https://cdsweb.cern.ch/record/1460098• Dedicated low pile-up run at 8 TeV• Pair mass 60-120 GeV• Lepton PT > 25 GeV, || < 2.1 for muons, || < 2.5 for
electrons (excluding barrel-endcap transition)• Lineshape described well by POWHEG+PYTHIA
D.Bourilkov, Florida, CMS EW Corrections in Z and DY 6
Inclusive Z Cross Sections @ 8 TeV
10710 Z events, very low backgroundExperimental uncertainties 2.8-1.9% for ee, Systematics dominated by lumi (4.4 %) and theory uncertainty, mainly acceptance (2.6-1.9%)EW corrections smaller

W/Z Ratios and @ 8 TeV
• Satisfactory agreement with NNLO predictions: FEWZ + MSTW2008

Drell-Yan Mass Spectrum
https://cdsweb.cern.ch/record/1439026
• Lepton pairs with PT > 14,9 GeV , > 20 GeV ee
• FSR effects unfolded (“Born” leptons, before QED FSR)
• NNLO predictions with FEWZ+MSTW08• NNLO effects at low mass important
D.Bourilkov, Florida, CMS EW Corrections in Z and DY 10
Drell-Yan Double Diff. Cross Section• Double differential cross section
in M & Y• In CMS acceptance, for ,
normalized to Z cross section• 6 bins in M, 24 or 12 bins in |Y|• Low mass needs more work,
improve theory predictions• 45-60 and 60-120 GeV: excellent
agreement with POWHEG and FEWZ
• Z peak bin systematics limited• 120-200 and 200-1500 GeV:
good agreement with POWHEG and FEWZ
• High mass bin statistics limited; will improve with 8 TeV data

Forward-backward Asymmetry
http://cdsweb.cern.ch/record/1430637• POWHEG+PYTHIA+CT10• Forward-backward asymmetry will become sensitive
to EW correctionsD.Bourilkov, Florida, CMS EW Corrections in Z and DY 12
Z PT
• Z PT spectrum at 7 TeV http://arxiv.org/abs/1110.4973
• Theory predictions: QCD at NNLO
• New physics can show up in the tail

Z’ Search @ 7 TeV
http://lanl.arxiv.org/abs/1206.1849
• Accumulating events > 1 TeV• Entering the Sudakov zone
D.Bourilkov, Florida, CMS EW Corrections in Z and DY 14
Z’ Search @ 8 TeV
https://cdsweb.cern.ch/record/1461216• Expanding the reach above 1 TeV• By the end of the 2012 run the statistical
precision will start to probe EW corrections

Calculations with FEWZ_3.1.b2 (good backward compatibility with FEWZ2): a tool to calculate simultaneously QCD corrections up to NNLO and EW corrections up to NLO for Z and DY production
Results for QCD NLO EW NLO shown MRST2004QED PDF used G scheme to “minimize” higher order EW

EW corrections will grow in importance for the complete 2012 data set
New tools e.g. FEWZ3.1 (beta) available to study these effects
First round of calculations looks promising
Refine the studies: QCD NNLO EW NLO Realistic experimental cuts for electrons
and muons
