\title{Study of the process\\ |
| 45 |
|
In this note, we investigate the discovery potential |
| 46 |
|
for the $\proton\proton \to \W\Z \to \ell^{\pm} \ellell (\ell=e,\mu)$ process at CMS, |
| 47 |
|
with full detector simulation of the signal and of the various backgrounds. |
| 48 |
< |
We determine the signal significance as a function of |
| 49 |
< |
integrated luminosity at the LHC based on Standard Model |
| 50 |
< |
cross sections computed at the next to leading order in $\alpha_s$. |
| 51 |
< |
We expect $\sim 97 $ signal $\W\Z \to \ell^{\pm} \ellell (\ell=e,\mu)$ events for $\sim 22$ background |
| 52 |
< |
events per inverse femtobarn. The background is found |
| 53 |
< |
to be dominated by the $\Zbbbar$, $\t\tbar$ and \ZZ processes with three true electrons or muons in the |
| 54 |
< |
final state. The sensitivity of the analysis allows for a potential 5-sigma discovery |
| 55 |
< |
of the $\proton\proton \to\W\Z$ channel with about 150 inverse picobarn. |
