Abstract:

This note presents measurements of WZ production in proton-proton collisions at center of mass energies of 7 TeV and 8 TeV with the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Results are based on data corresponding to integrated luminosities of 4.9

\rm{fb}^{-1}

collected at

\sqrt{s}=7

TeV, and 19.6

\rm{fb}^{-1}

collected at

\sqrt{s}=8

TeV. The leptonic decay modes of the W and Z bosons into electrons and muons are considered. The inclusive WZ cross section is determined for the two energies, and the ratio of production cross sections for

{\rm W^+Z}

and

{\rm W^-Z}

is determined.
