Measurement of the hadronic activity in events with a Z and two jets and extraction of the cross section for the electroweak production of a Z with two jets in pp collisions at root s=7 TeV

The first measurement of the electroweak production cross section of a Z boson with two jets (Zjj) in pp collisions at √s = 7TeV is presented, based on a data sample recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC with an integrated luminosity of 5fb-1. The cross section is measured for the ℓℓjj (ℓ = e, μ...
