Read the paper: QCD-10-037 The measured Drell-Yan production rates, normalised to the production rates in the Z-boson region, show good agreement with the theoretical predictions. The Drell-Yan process occurs when a quark from one of the colliding…

Read the paper: BPH-11-002 The observed numbers of events in both decay modes are consistent with those expected in the Standard Model. Upper limits on the branching fraction have been determined at 90% and 95% confidence levels (CL). The Standard…
