Measurement of forward t t ‾, W + b b bar and W + c c bar production in pp collisions at √{ s} = 8 TeV

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
The production of t t ‾, W + b b ‾ and W + c c ‾ is studied in the forward region of proton-proton collisions collected at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.98 ± 0.02 fb-1. The W bosons are reconstructed in the decays W → ℓν, where ℓ denotes muon or electron, while the b and c quarks are reconstructed as jets. All measured cross-sections are in agreement with next-to-leading-order Standard Model predictions.
