# Measurement of Cross Section Ratio / in pp Collisions at 8 TeV

## Abstract

We present a measurement of the cross section ratio / in the dilepton decay mode, using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.6 collected in pp collisions at = 8 TeV with the CMS detector at the LHC. The cross section ratio / is measured in the visible phase space corresponding to the detector acceptance, and corrected to particle level. For events with at least four reconstructed jets, the measurement is performed by means of a fit to the measured b-tagging algorithm output. The result of the measurement is 0.023 0.003 (stat.) 0.005 (sys.) ( 0.022 0.004 (stat.) 0.005 (sys.) ) for a minimum pt of 20 (40) GeVc. Measurements of the absolute cross sections and are also presented.

## Figures

Figure Caption
Figure 1 (left): Distributions of the b-jet multiplicity in events with particle level jets with a minimum pt of 20 GeV after the requirement of at least four reconstructed jets. The distributions corresponds to the sum of the , and final states.Data are compared with Monte Carlo simulations where the process is required to have two additional b-jets, to have at least two c-jets, to have exactly one additional b-jet and events are from light flavor partons such as gluon, u, d or s quark. The contribution labeled " others" is from top quark pair events that do not pass the visible phase space definition. The normalizations of the simulation were obtained from the fit to the data, as described in the text. The sum of the statistical and the systematic uncertainties are shown as hatched regions while only statistical uncertainty is shown in the ratio. pdf

Only statistical uncertainties are given in the Table. Table 2: Expected and observed counts of events after the final event selection and with particle level jet pt of at least 40 GeV, summed over final states. Only statistical uncertainties are given in the Table. Table 3: Break-down of the systematic uncertainties on various sources contributing to the fraction of . "b-tag" indicates the scale factor for b-tagging discriminator. Table 4: The measured absolute cross section and at the visible phase space (VS) are shown in the Table. Additionally the absolute cross sections unfolding to the full phase space (FS) for the b-jets from the top decays are also shown. Correction factors for full phase space is derived using MADGRAPH as described in the text. The 2.6 % uncertainty on the luminosity for the absolute cross section is not included in the Table.
