The integrated luminosities of the 13TeV and 8TeV datasets are 3.2 fb1 and 20.2 fb1, respectively. The ratio is measured as a function of the photon transverse energy in di erent regions of the photon pseudorapidity. The predictions from next-to-leading-order perturbative QCD calculations are compared with the measured ratio. The experimental systematic uncertainties as well as the uncertainties a ecting the predictions are evaluated taking into account the correlations between the two centre-of-mass energies, resulting in a reduction of up to a factor of 2:5 (5) in the experimental (theoretical) systematic uncertainties. The predictions based on several parameterisations of the proton parton distribution functions agree with the data within the reduced experimental and theoretical uncertainties. In addition, this ratio to that of the ducial cross sections for Z boson production at 13 and 8TeV using the decay channels Z ! e+e and Z ! + is made and compared with the theoretical predictions. In this double ratio, a further reduction of the experimental uncertainty is obtained because the uncertainties arising from the luminosity measurement cancel out. The predictions describe the measurements of the double ratio within the theoretical and experimental uncertainties. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/107118 | DOI: | 10.1007/JHEP04(2019)093 | Rights: | openAccess |
