Abstract

A QCD analysis is reported of ATLAS data on inclusive W± and Z boson production in pp collisions at the LHC, jointly with ep deep-inelastic scattering data from HERA. The ATLAS data exhibit sensitivity to the light quark sea composition and magnitude at Bjorken x∼0.01.

Specifically, the data support the hypothesis of a symmetric composition of the light quark sea at low x. The ratio of the strange-to-down sea quark distributions is determined to be 1.00+0.25−0.28 at absolute four-momentum transfer squared Q2=1.9  GeV2 and x=0.023.

A QCD analysis is reported of ATLAS data on inclusiveWandZboson production inppcollisions at the LHC, jointly withepdeep-inelastic scattering data from HERA. The ATLAS data exhibit sensitivity to the light quark sea composition and magnitude at Bjorkenx0:01. Specifically, the data support the hypothesis of a symmetric composition of the light quark sea at lowx. The ratio of the strange-to-down sea quark distributions is determined to be1:00^þ0:25_0:28at absolute four-momentum transfer squaredQ²¼ 1:9 GeV²andx¼0:023.

Little is known about the strange-quark distribution in the proton. FlavorSUð3Þsymmetry suggests that the three light sea quark distributions are equal. However, the strange quarks may be suppressed due to their larger mass. The nucleon strange density plays an important role for a number of physics processes, ranging from measurements at proton-proton colliders ofW boson pro- duction associated with charm jets [1] and of theWboson mass [2], to the formation of strange matter [3] and neu- trino interactions at ultrahigh energies [4].

Knowledge of the parton distribution functions (PDFs) of the proton comes mainly from deep-inelastic lepton proton scattering experiments covering a broad range of Q², the absolute four-momentum transfer squared, and of Bjorken x. The PDFs are determined from data using perturbative quantum chromodynamics (pQCD). The re-

gionx&0:01is primarily constrained by the precise mea-

surement of the proton structure function F₂ðx; Q²Þ at HERA [5], which determines a specific combination of light quark and antiquark distributions. However, the flavor composition of the total light sea, x¼2xðuþdþsÞ, has not been determined at thesexvalues.

The strange-quark distribution has been accessed in charged current neutrino scattering through the subpro- cesses W^þs!c and Ws!c. This measurement has been made by the NuTeV [6] and CCFR [7] experiments, providing information on the strange and antistrange den- sity atx0:1andQ²10 GeV². However, the interpre- tation of these data is sensitive to uncertainties from charm fragmentation and nuclear corrections. The analyses of Refs. [8–11] suggest strangeness suppression, with

s=d&0:5, whereas the analysis of Ref. [12] is consistent

with s= d’1 (unsuppressed strangeness). Recent HERMES kaon multiplicity data [13] point to a strong x dependence of the strange-quark density and a rather large value of xðsþsÞ at x’0:04 and Q²’1:3 GeV². However, the interpretation of these data depends on the knowledge of the fragmentation of strange quarks to K mesons at lowQ².

In the present Letter it is shown that the differential measurements of the inclusive W and Z boson cross sections at the LHC, recently performed by the ATLAS collaboration using35 pb¹ ofppcollision data recorded in 2010 [14], provide new constraints on the strange-quark distribution at high scale, Q²M_W;Z² , which imply con- straints at lowQ²through pQCD evolution. Because of the weak couplings of the quarks involved, complementary information to F₂ is provided which also constrains x. A quantity of special interest is the ratio of the (W^þþW) andZcross sections which is sensitive to the flavor com- position of the quark sea [12,15,16] and is rather insensi- tive to the influence of higher order pQCD corrections [17].

The inclusive electromagnetic and weak Drell-Yan scatter- ing process is theoretically well understood [18,19]. The parton distribution analysis is performed here in next-to- next-to leading order (NNLO) QCD using the ATLAS data jointly with inclusive deep-inelastic scattering data from HERA.

The combined epcross-section measurements of H1 and ZEUS [5] cover a kinematic range of Q² from near 1 GeV² to above10⁴ GeV² and ofxfrom0:6down to 10⁴. The ATLAS data access a kinematic range pre- scribed by the boson masses,M_W;Z, and the proton beam energy, E_p¼3:5 TeV, corresponding to Q² ’M²_W;Z and anxrange0:001&x&0:1, with a meanx¼M_Z=2E_p¼ 0:013for the Zboson. The W andZboson differential cross sections have been measured [14] as functions of the W decay lepton (e, ) pseudorapidity, _l, and of the Z boson rapidity,y_Z, respectively, with an experimental pre- cision of typically ð1–2Þ%in each bin. The absolute nor- malization of the three cross sections is known to within

3.4%. Many systematic uncertainties on the measurements of theWandZboson cross sections are fully correlated.

These correlations are taken into account in the analysis.

The present QCD analysis uses theHERAFITTERframe- work [5,20,21]. The light quark coefficient functions are calculated to NNLO as implemented inQCDNUM[22]. The contributions of heavy quarks are calculated in the general- mass variable-flavor-number scheme of Refs. [23,24]. The electroweak parameters and corrections relevant for theW andZboson production processes are determined follow- ing the procedure described in Ref. [14], and the results are cross-checked between theFEWZ[19] and theDYNNLO[18]

programs. The HERAFITTER package uses the APPLGRID

code [25] interfaced to the MCFM program [26] for fast calculation of the differentialWandZboson cross sections at NLO and aK-factor technique to correct from NLO to NNLO predictions. The data are compared to the theory using the²function defined in Refs. [27–29].

The evolution equations yield the PDFs at any value of Q²given that they are parametrized as functions ofxat an initial scaleQ²₀. In the present analysis, this scale is chosen to beQ²₀ ¼1:9 GeV² such that it is below the charm mass threshold m²_c. The heavy quark masses are chosen to be m_c ¼1:4 GeVandm_b¼4:75 GeV. The strong coupling constant is fixed to _SðM_ZÞ ¼0:1176, as in Ref. [5]. A minimum Q² cut ofQ²_min 7:5 GeV² is imposed on the HERA data.

The quark distributions at the initial scale are repre- sented by the generic form

xq_iðxÞ ¼A_ix^Bið1xÞ^CiP_iðxÞ; (1) where P_iðxÞ denotes polynomials in powers of x. The parametrized quark distributions, xq_i, are chosen to be the valence quark distributions (xu_v, xd_v) and the light antiquark distributions (xu, xd, xs). The gluon distribution is parametrized with the more flexible form xgðxÞ ¼ A_gx^Bgð1xÞ^CgP_gðxÞ A⁰_gx^B0gð1xÞ^C0g, where C⁰_g is set to 25 to suppress negative contributions at high x. The parametersA_uvandA_dvare fixed using the quark counting rule andA_g using the momentum sum rule. The normal- ization and slope parameters,AandB, ofu andd are set equal such thatxu ¼xdatx!0. Terms are added in the polynomial expansionP_iðxÞ only if required by the data, following the procedure described in Ref. [5]. This leads to one additional term,P_uvðxÞ ¼1þE_uvx².

Two types of NNLO fit, termedepWZ, are performed with different treatments of strangeness. First, the strange- quark distribution is fully coupled to the down sea quark distribution and suppressed by fixing s= d¼0:5 at the initial scale Q²₀ (‘‘fixed s fit’’) as suggested by Refs. [5,8–11]. In a second fit, xs is parametrized as in Eq. (1), with P_s¼1 and B_s¼Bd, leaving two free strangeness parameters,A_sandC_s(‘‘freesfit’’). By default it is assumed thatxs¼xs.

Both fits result in good overall ²=N_DF values of 546:1=567 with 13 free parameters, for fixed s, and of 538:4=565with 15 free parameters, for frees. For the fixed

s fit, the partial ² of the ATLAS data is 44.5 for 30 data points. This improves significantly to 33.9 for the fit with frees. This fit determines the value of r_s¼0:5ðsþsÞ=d to be

r_s¼1:000:20 exp0:07mod^þ0:10_0:15par^þ0:06_0:07S0:08th; (2) at Q²₀ and x¼0:023, the x value, which corresponds to x¼0:013atQ² ¼M_Z² as a result of QCD evolution. The combined result isr_s¼1:00^þ0:25_0:28.

The uncertainty of r_s, Eq. (2), is dominated by the experimental (exp) uncertainty, which is mostly driven by the statistical and systematic uncertainties of the W andZcross-section measurements. The model (mod) un- certainty includes effects due to variations (1:25< m_c<

1:55 GeV and 4:5< m_b<5:0 GeV) of the charm and beauty quark masses following Ref. [30], of the minimum Q² cut value (5< Q²_min<10 GeV²), and the value of the starting scale (Q²₀ lowered to 1:5 GeV²). The largest con- tribution to the model uncertainty of0:05comes from the variation of the charm quark mass. The parametrization (par) uncertainty corresponds to the envelope of the results obtained with the polynomialsP_i, in Eq. (1), extended by one or two terms, resulting in somewhat different parton distributions with similar ² as for the nominal fit. The parametrization uncertainty also includes a fit withB_sfree.

The _s uncertainty corresponds to a variation of _sðM_ZÞ from 0.114 to 0.121. Finally, a theoretical (th) uncertainty is assessed by comparing the DYNNLO and FEWZ predic- tions on theZ,W^þ, andWfiducial cross sections, which agree at the level of 0.2, 0.5, and 1.0%, respectively. In addition, remaining missing pure electroweak corrections may alter the QCD predictions at the per-thousand level.

Both effects are well covered by an uncertainty of 1% on theW=Zcross-section ratio and this results in a theoretical uncertainty onr_sof 0.08.

The fits impose small shifts, typically much smaller than 1 standard deviation, on the correlated systematic uncer- tainties of the data. The global normalization is observed to be shifted upward for both fits by about the size of the luminosity measurement uncertainty. TheWandZcross- section measurements are compared in Fig.1to the NNLO fit results, after these shifts are applied to the predictions.

Also shown are the ratios of the fits with free sand with fixed s. It is apparent that the enhanced strange-quark fraction in the free s fit has no significant effect on the prediction of the_ldistributions for both theW^þandW decay leptons, while it leads to an improvement in the prediction of they_Z distribution. An improvement is also observed in the description of the ratio of the (W^þþW) to theZ boson cross sections in the fiducial phase space.

This is predicted to be 11.10 in the fit with fixeds, while

the measured value of 10:700:15 is almost exactly reproduced in the fit with free s, which gives a value of 10.74.

In order to check the robustness of the present result for r_s, a series of cross-checks is performed. A fit without allowing an adjustment of the correlated errors yields a value of r_s¼0:970:26 exp, in good agreement with Eq. (2). A fit with identical input parameters is repeated at NLO and also yields a consistent result: r_s¼1:03 0:19 exp. If this NLO fit is performed with a massless heavy quark treatment then r_s¼1:050:19 exp is ob- tained. In a separate NLO study, the constraint ðxu xdÞ !0 for x!0 is relaxed. The xdðxÞ distribution is found to be consistent with xuðxÞ, albeit with large uncertainties (15% at x0:01 and Q²₀). The fraction of strangeness is again consistent with unity,r_s¼0:96 0:25 exp. Finally the data are fitted, to NNLO, with sepa- rate strange and antistrange normalizations. The resulting value of r_s is consistent with unity and the ratio s=s is 0:930:15 expatx¼0:023andQ² ¼Q²₀.

W, Z cross-section measurements performed at the Tevatron may potentially have sensitivity tor_s similar to that of the ATLAS data. A NLO fit to the HERA with the CDFWasymmetry [31] andZrapidity [32] data givesr_s¼ 0:660:29 exp at a meanx of about 0.081. This is con- sistent within uncertainties with both suppressed strange- ness and with the present result. A NLO fit to the combined HERA, ATLAS, and CDF data yields r_s¼0:95 0:17 exp.

The provision of the full differential cross sections for both W^þ, W, and Z boson production, besides the ep cross sections, is essential for the determination of xs: if the ATLASZcross-section data are fitted together with the ATLAS W charge asymmetry data, rather than with the separateW^þ andW cross-section measurements, a less precise result is obtained withr_s¼0:920:31 exp.

In Fig. 2 the present result for r_s is compared with predictions obtained from four global PDF determinations.

The CT10 (NLO) [12] determination gives a large fraction consistent with the present result. On the other hand, the MSTW08 [8] and ABKM09 [9] determinations give a much lower value ofr_s’0:5, and the NNPDF2.1 [10,11]

result ofr_s’0:25is even lower.

The enlarged fraction of the strange-quark sea leads to a decrease of the down and up quark sea densities at the initial scaleQ²₀, becausexs, xd, and xuare tied together at low x by the precise F₂ data. In compensation for the increase of xs, the xdandxu distributions are diminished by’10%. The total sea,x, is correspondingly enhanced by’8%, as illustrated in Fig.3.

The result onr_s, Eq. (2), evolves to

r_s¼1:000:07exp0:03mod^þ0:04_0:06par0:02_S0:03th (3) at Q² ¼M²_Z and x¼0:013, corresponding to a value of r_sð0:013; M²_ZÞ ¼1:00^þ0:09_0:10, which is more than twice as precise as at the initial scaleQ²₀. Uncertainties are smaller atQ² ¼M_Z²because the gluon splitting probability intoqq pairs is flavor independent, thus reducing any initial flavor asymmetries. This also causesr_sto increase from 0.5 atQ²₀ to a value of about 0.8 atQ²¼M_Z² in the fixedsfit.

The error bars represent the statistical and uncorrelated systematic uncertainties added in quadrature while the theoretical curves are adjusted to the correlated error shifts (see text). The NNLO fit results with free and fixed strangeness are also indicated, and their ratios are shown in the panels below the cross-section plots.

In summary, a NNLO pQCD analysis is presented of the first differential ATLAS W, Z pp cross sections with HERA ep data. The W, Z measurements introduce a novel sensitivity to the strange-quark density atx0:01, which is exploited here. The ratio of the strange-to-down sea quark density is found to ber_s¼1:00^þ0:25_0:28, at Bjorken x¼0:023 and the initial scale of the QCD fit Q²₀ ¼ 1:9 GeV². This is consistent with the prediction that the light quark sea at lowxis flavor symmetric. A consequence of this initial observation is that the total sea,x¼2xðuþ dþsÞ, is enhanced by about 8%, as compared to the result when the strange quark is suppressed to half the magnitude of the down sea quark.
