Measurement of the Z boson differential cross section in transverse momentum and rapidity in proton–proton collisions at 8 TeV

Measurement of the Z boson differential cross section in transverse momentum and rapidity in proton–proton collisions at 8 TeV

We present a measurement of the Z boson differential cross section in rapidity and transverse momentum using a data sample of pp collision events at a centre-of-mass energy √s = 8 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb ⁻¹. The Z boson is identified via its decay to a pair of muons...
