Measurement of the forward Z boson production cross-section in pp collisions at √s=13 TeV. J. High Energ. Phys. 2016, 136 (2016). https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP09(2016)1361029-8479http://hdl.handle.net/10347/22443A measurement of the production cross-section of Z bosons in pp collisions at √s=13 TeV is presented using dimuon and dielectron final states in LHCb data. The cross-section is measured for leptons with pseudorapidities in the range 2.0 < η < 4.5, transverse momenta p T > 20 GeV and dilepton invariant mass in the range 60 < m(ℓℓ) < 120 GeV. The integrated cross-section from averaging the two final states is σ ℓℓZ = 194.3 ± 0.9 ± 3.3 ± 7.6 pb, where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is due to systematic effects, and the third is due to the luminosity determination. In addition, differential cross-sections are measured as functions of the Z boson rapidity, transverse momentum and the angular variable ϕ *η.eng© CERN, for the bene t of the LHCb Collaboration.
