The other gauge boson, either W or Z, is detected through its leptonic decay (either W→eν, μν or Z→e+e−, μ+μ−−, or νν¯¯¯). The results are based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 18.9 fb−1−1 collected with the CMS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The measured cross sections, σ(pp→WZ)=30.7±9.3(stat.)±7.1(syst.)±4.1(th.)±1.0(lum.) pb and σ(pp→ZZ)=6.5±1.7(stat.)±1.0(syst.)±0.9(th.)±0.2(lum.)pb are consistent with next-to-leading order quantum chromodynamics calculations.}, publisher = {Springer New York LLC}, publisher = {European Physical Journal C, Vol. 74, Num. 8, Art.
