Cross sections

Retrieving from MiniAOD

You can get the production cross section of a particular MiniAOD dataset by adding the following components to a CMSSW configuration file:

1. process.xsec = cms.EDAnalyzer("GenXSecAnalyzer")
2. Add process.xsec to the end of the process path.

My datasets

I retrieved the following cross sections for samples I care about (using about 100,000 events):

• qcdmg1000_moriond17: 1210 ± 4 pb
• qcdp1000_moriond17: 9.35 ± 0.02 pb
• ttbar_moriond17: 730.6 ± 0.6 pb
• wjets_moriond17 (H_T > 600 GeV): 99.1 ± 0.2 pb
• zjets_moriond17 (H_T > 600 GeV): 581.8 ± 0.1 pb (Is this wrong?)
• wwto4q_moriond17: 45.20 ± 0.04 pb
• wwto2l2q_moriond17: 43.53e ± 0.03 pb (!)
• zzto4q_moriond17: 6.87 ± 0.03 pb
• zzto2l2q_moriond17: 0 (!)

SUSY production theory cross sections

Production for SUSY particles at 13 TeV are listed on this Twiki.
