Measurement of the Drell-Yan triple-differential cross section in pp collisions at s=8 TeV
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper presents a measurement of the triple-differential cross section for the Drell-Yan process Z/γ* → ℓ+ℓ− where ℓ is an electron or a muon. The measurement is performed for invariant masses of the lepton pairs, mℓℓ, between 46 and 200 GeV using a sample of 20.2 fb−1 of pp collisions data at a centre-of-mass energy of s=8 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC in 2012. The data are presented in bins of invariant mass, absolute dilepton rapidity, |yℓℓ|, and the angular variable cos θ* between the outgoing lepton and the incoming quark in the Collins-Soper frame. The measurements are performed in the range |yℓℓ| < 2.4 in the muon channel, and extended to |yℓℓ| < 3.6 in the electron channel. The cross sections are used to determine the Z boson forward-backward asymmetry as a function of |yℓℓ| and mℓℓ. The measurements achieve high-precision, below the percent level in the pole region, excluding the uncertainty in the integrated luminosity, and are in agreement with predictions. These precision data are sensitive to the parton distribution functions and the effective weak mixing angle.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
