The W boson is identified using its decay to a muon and a neutrino, while the Z boson is identified through its decay to a muon pair. Total cross-sections are measured and combined into charge ratios, asymmetries, and ratios of W+jet and Z+jet production cross-sections. Differential measurements are also performed as a function of both boson and jet kinematic variables. All results are in agreement with Standard Model predictions.", optnote="WOS:000377450500001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=2723), last updated on Thu, 30 Jun 2016 18:08:50 +0000", issn="1029-8479", doi="10.1007/JHEP05(2016)131", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1605.00951", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP05(2016)131", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1605.00951", language="English" }
