Measurement of the Polarization of W Bosons with Large Transverse Momenta in W+jets Events at the LHC

Measurement of the Polarization of W Bosons with Large Transverse Momenta in W+jets Events at the LHC

A first measurement of the polarization of W bosons with large transverse momenta in pp collisions is presented. The measurement is based on 36  pb[superscript -1] of data recorded at √s=7  TeV by the CMS detector at the LHC. The left-handed, right-handed, and longitudinal polarization fractions (f[...
