1. Introduction

Thestudyoftheproductionofbosonpairsprovidesan impor-tant test of the electroweak sector of the standard model (SM), sincethisproductionis aconsequenceof thenon-Abeliannature of the underlying SU(2)×U(1) symmetry. Trilinear gauge boson verticesareaconsequenceofthissymmetry,andthevaluesofthe self-couplingsarefixedintheSM.Anymeasureddeviationwould beanindicationofphysicsbeyondthestandardmodelatthat ver-tex. For production of a Z boson anda photon, these couplings are zero in the SM. New symmetries or newparticles that only becomerelevantathigherenergiescould resultinacrosssection thatdiffersfromtheSMprediction[1,2],particularlyforfinal-state bosonswithhightransversemomentum.

Inthislettera measurementispresentedoftheproductionof aZ boson,whichdecaysintoapairofneutrinos,andaphotonin proton–protoncollisions,atacentre-of-massenergyof√s=8TeV, usingdata collected bythe CMSexperimentcorresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.6 fb−1. This result extends previous measurements at the LHC [3–5]. We describe a measurement of the production cross section as well as the extraction of limits on anomalous ZVγ couplings,where V=Z, γ. In thissearch for anomaloustrilineargaugecouplings(aTGCs),thefinal-stateboson transversemomentumisusedasasensitiveobservable.

The most general Lorentz-invariant and gauge-invariant ZVγ

vertex can be described by four coupling parameters hV_i (i = 1,. . . ,4) [6,7]. The first two couplings (i=1,2) are CP-violating, while the latter two (i=3,4) are CP-conserving [7,8]. At tree levelintheSM,theindividualvaluesoftheseaTGCsarezero.The http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2016.06.080

The sensitivity to aTGCs in Zγ production is higher in the Z→νν decaymode than inZ boson decaymodeswithcharged leptons, becausethe branching fractionfora Z boson decayto a pairofneutrinosissixtimeshigherthanforadecaytoa particu-larchargedleptonpair,andtheacceptanceintheneutrinochannel ishigher.

The fiducial phase space for this measurement is defined by therequirements ofphoton transverseenergy Eγ_T > 145 GeV and photonpseudorapidity|ηγ|<1.44,wherethecontaminationfrom otherparticlesmisidentifiedasphotonsislower[9].

2. TheCMSdetector

The central feature of the CMS apparatus is a superconduct-ing solenoidof 6 m internal diameter,providing a magnetic field of 3.8 T. Within the superconducting solenoid volume are a sili-conpixelandstriptracker,aleadtungstatecrystalelectromagnetic calorimeter(ECAL),andabrassandscintillatorhadroncalorimeter (HCAL),eachcomposed ofa barrel(|η|<1.479) andtwoendcap (1.479<|η|<3.0) sections, where η is the pseudorapidity. Ex-tensive forward calorimetry complements the coverage provided bythe barrelandendcap detectors.Muonsare measured in gas-ionization detectors embedded in the steelflux-return yoke out-side the solenoid. The energyresolution for photons with trans-versemomentum ≥60GeV varies between1% and2.5%over the solidangleoftheECALbarrel, andfrom2.5% to3.5%inthe end-caps [9]. The timing measurement of the ECAL has a resolution better than 200 ps for energydeposits larger than 10 GeV [9].In the η–φ plane,whereφistheazimuthalangleandfor|η|<1.48, the HCAL cells map onto 5×5 arrays of ECAL crystals to form calorimetertowers projecting radially outward fromthe nominal interactionpoint.

The event reconstruction is performed using a particle-flow (PF)algorithm [10,11], which reconstructs andidentifies individ-ualparticlesusinganoptimizedcombinationofinformationfrom all subdetectors. Photons are identified as energyclusters in the ECAL.Theseenergyclustersaremergedtoformsuperclustersthat are five crystals wide in η, centered around the most energetic crystal, and have a variable width in φ. The energy of charged hadronsis determined froma combination ofthe track momen-tumandthecorrespondingECALandHCALenergies,correctedfor the combined response function of the calorimeters. The energy ofneutral hadrons isobtained from the corresponding corrected ECALandHCALenergies.Foreachevent,hadronicjetsareformed fromthesereconstructedparticleswiththeinfrared- and collinear-safeanti-kT algorithm [12],usingadistanceparameter R=0.5,

3. Signalandbackgroundmodeling

Thefinal state consistingof an energeticphoton accompanied byanimbalanceintransverseenergycanbe mimickedbyseveral other processes in the SM. These processes include Wγ → νγ

where  is a charged lepton (if the lepton escapes detection),

W→ ν(iftheleptonismisidentifiedasaphoton), γ+jets (ifthe jets are misreconstructed, resulting in /ET), QCD multijet

produc-tionincludingZ(νν)+jets (ifthejetismisidentifiedasaphoton), Zγ→ γ (ifbothleptonsescapedetection), γ γ events(ifoneof thephotonsescapes detection),andalsobackgrounds frombeam halo.

ThecontributionsfromtheWγ → νγ, γ+jet,Zγ → γ,and

γ γ processes tothe candidateeventsample are estimatedusing Monte Carlo-based (MC) simulations. The W(ν)γ and Z→ γ

samples are generated with MadGraph5v1.3.30 at leading order (LO) [14] and then processed with the pythia 6.426 event gen-erator [15] for showering and hadronization. The other samples are generatedwiththe pythia 6.426 generator[15] atLO.All the samplesaregeneratedusingtheCTEQ6L1[16]partondistribution function(PDF)set,processedthroughtheCMSdetectorsimulation based on Geant4[17,18], andreconstructedin thesame manner ascollisiondata.

The cross section forthe SM background process Wγ → νγ

with at mostone jet is corrected with an Eγ_T dependent K fac-tor estimated from mcfm [19] to account for next-to-leading-order (NLO) effects. The PDF4LHC Working Group recommenda-tions [20–22] are usedto estimate theuncertaintyin thecentral value of theNLO crosssection arising fromthe PDFs,the strong couplingconstant αs,andits scaledependence.The γ+jet cross sectioniscorrectedtoincludeNLOeffects.

To determine the efficiency for the SM Z(νν)γ production cross section measurement, events are produced with the Mad-Graph5v1.3.30generatoratLOwithamaximumoftwoadditional partonsandsimulatedthroughthefull reconstructionchain. Sim-ulated samples of the Zγ signal for a grid of aTGC values are producedusingthe sherpa v1.2.2generator[23].Thecrosssection withatmostoneextrapartoniscorrectedwithan Eγ_T dependent Kfactorestimatedfrom mcfm[19]toaccountforNLOeffects.The inclusivemeasurementhasbeencomparedwithatheoretical cal-culationaccurateuptonext-to-next-to-leadingorder(NNLO).

To account fordifferencesarising from imperfect modeling of thedatainthesimulation,atotalcorrectionfactor ρof0.94±0.06 isappliedtoallMC-basedbackgroundestimates.Thisisthe prod-uctofindividualcorrectionfactorsdefinedasratiosofthe efficien-ciesmeasuredindataandinsimulation.Theyinclude0.97±0.02 for photon identification measured using Z→ee events, 0.99± 0.03 fortimingrequirementsmeasuredusingasampleofelectron events,and0.99±0.02 and0.99±0.05 forleptonandjetvetoes measuredusingW→eν events.

4. Eventselection

Events areselectedusingboth asingle-photontriggerthat re-quiresaphotonwithEγ_T >150GeV,andphoton+/ETtriggerswith

Eγ_T >70GeV and/ET>100GeV.Thecombinationofthesetriggers

is 96% efficient for events with photon transverse energy Eγ_T >

145GeV, photon pseudorapidity |ηγ_{|<1.44, and /E}

T>140GeV.

Events are required to have at least one primary vertex recon-structedwithinalongitudinaldistanceof|z|<24 cm ofthecenter ofthedetectorandata distance<2 cm fromthez axis. The pri-maryvertexischosentobethevertexwiththehighestp2_Tsumof itsassociatedtracks,wherepT isthetransversemomentum.

We imposeadditional requirementson theenergydeposits in thecalorimeterstodistinguishphotonsfrommisidentifiedjets[9]. The energy in the HCAL associated with the photon superclus-tershould not exceed5% ofits energyasmeasured in theECAL. Moreover,thephotoncandidatesmusthaveashower distribution inthe ECALconsistentwiththat expectedforan electromagnetic (EM)shower [9].To furtherreduce photon contamination arising

from misidentified jets, isolation requirements on photon candi-dates are imposed. Energy deposits for isolation are obtained by consideringparticlesinaconearoundtheaxisdefinedbythe su-percluster position and the primary vertex [9]. In particular, the scalarsumoftransversemomenta (in GeV)ofall photonswithin a coneof R=0.3 around thesupercluster, excluding a strip of width in η of 0.015, is required to be less than 0.7+0.005pγ_T; thescalarsumofthetransversemomenta(inGeV) ofall charged hadrons,associatedwiththeprimaryvertex,withinahollowcone of0.02< R<0.30 aroundthesuperclusterisrequiredtobeless than 1.5;andthescalarsumofthetransversemomenta(in GeV) ofall neutralhadronswithin acone ofR=0.3 around the su-percluster is required to be less than 1.0+0.04pγ_T. Due to the large numberofadditionalproton–protoninteractions (pileup) in thesamebunchcrossingattheLHC,itisdifficulttoknowthetrue originofthe photonfora γ+/ET finalstate (ourestimate is

cor-rect50% ofthetime),which couldlead toan underestimationof isolationvalues.Therefore,anadditionalPF-basedchargedparticle isolationiscalculatedforeachvertexandthelargestvalueofthis isolationsumisrequiredtobesmallerthanthenominalthreshold usedforchargedparticleisolation.

Photon candidates are required to have the energy deposited inthe highestenergy crystalwithin the EMcluster to be within

±3 ns ofthetime expectedforparticlesfromacollision.This re-quirementreducesinstrumental backgroundarisingfromshowers induced by bremsstrahlung from muonsin the beam halo orin cosmic rays. To further reduce this background, we exploit the characteristic signature of showers frombeam halo in the ECAL. Asearchregionisdefinedaroundthehighestenergycrystalofthe EMclusterinanarrowφ windowandovera wide ηrange,after removalofthe EMshower ina 5×5 array.A straight line, paral-leltothebeamdirection,isfittedovertheremaining cellswithin thisregion.Events are taggedasminimumionizing particle(MIP tag) if the total energydeposited in the crystals associated with thestraight-linefitisgreaterthan6.3 GeV.

SpurioussignalscanbeembeddedwithinEMshowersbydirect ionizationoftheavalanchephotodiodesensitivevolumebyhighly ionizing particles.These signals, whichwouldotherwise passthe EM shower selection criteria, are eliminated by requiring consis-tencyamongtheenergydepositiontimesforallcrystalswithinan EMshower.

In order to suppress backgrounds from QCD multijet produc-tion andleptonic decay ofW/Z+jets, eventsare vetoed ifthey contain significant hadronic/leptonic activitydefinedby: (i) more than one jet with pT>30GeV not passing thepileup jet

identi-fication criteria[25],separatedfrom thephoton by R>0.5, or (ii) an electronor a muon with pT>10GeV andseparated from

The most significant background contributionestimated using simulation is also validated in a control region dominated by W(ν)γ events. Events are selected using the full candidate se-lectionbutwiththelepton vetoinverted.In data,104eventsare observed,consistentwithanexpectationof126±23 events.

The backgroundoriginatingfromjetsmisidentifiedasphotons isestimatedusingadatadrivenmethod.Themethodisbasedona classofjets,referredtoas“photon-like”jets,thathaveproperties similartoelectromagneticobjects.Photon-likejetsarerequiredto passaveryloosephotonselectionbutatthesametimefailoneof theisolation requirements.Themethodalsoreliesontheratioof jetspassingthefullphotonselectiontothoseidentifiedas photon-like jets. This ratio is measured in a control sample enriched in QCD multijetevents. Tosuppressthecontribution ofelectroweak processes, the missing transverse energy in this control sample is required to be smaller than 30 GeV. Because this sample also containstrueisolatedphotonsfromQCDdirectphotonproduction, thiscontributionmustbesubtractedfromthenumeratorofthe ra-tio.Therequiredcorrectionisestimatedbyperformingafittothe distribution ofthe candidateshower widthvariable σηη [9].Two

The estimated numberof backgroundevents is foundtobe45±14,wheretheuncertaintyreflectsanuncertainty intheestimationoftheratio,aswellasthestatisticaluncertainty ofthesamplescaledforthefinalestimate.

An instrumentalbackgroundcaused byelectrons arisesdueto the imperfect efficiency for reconstructing and associating pixel seeds with clusters. For our kinematic requirements, this back-groundlargelyoriginatesfromW boson(W→eν)production,and isestimatedfromdata.Thepixelseedefficiency pix ismeasured

inZ→ee events usingthestandard“tag-and-probe”method[27] and is estimated to be 0.984±0.002 for electrons with ET >

the same candidateevent selection as the signal candidates and with the additional requirement of a pixel seed match. The re-sultingcontribution is estimatedto be 60±6 events, wherethe uncertaintyisdominated bythe uncertaintyinthe measurement of pix.

Since photon candidates are only identified within the ECAL, thecandidatesampleissusceptibletocontaminationfrom noncol-lision backgrounds. These backgrounds arise from interactions in thecalorimeterofacceleratorrelatedparticles(beamhalo), spuri-oussignalsintheECALitself,andparticlesoriginatingfromcosmic rayinteractions. Thetiming distributionmeasured fromtheECAL foreach ofthese backgrounds isdistinctly different fromthe ar-rivaltime distribution forphotonsproduced incollisions. A fitis performedtothecandidatetimedistributionsusingshapesderived fromdata.Thebackgrounddistributionareconstructedby invert-ing MIP tag (beam halo) and shower shape (anomalous signal) requirements.Thearrivaltimeforphotonsfromtheinteraction re-gionismodeledusingW→eν candidatesindata.Fromtheresult ofthefit,theonlysignificantnoncollisionbackgroundisfoundto befrombeamhaloevents,anditscontributionisestimatedtobe 25±6 events.

Thetotal numberof expectedbackground eventsis 269±26, asmentionedinTable 1.Thenumberofsignal events(data – ex-pectedbackground)is361±36,wheretheuncertaintyisobtained by adding in quadrature the uncertainty from the data and the backgroundestimation.TheexpectednumberofZγ →ννγ signal events,obtainedusing MadGraph5andcorrectedforNNLOeffects, is345±43.
