Abstract:
Differential cross section measurements of the Z(μμ)(\rightarrow \mu\mu) boson production in association with jets are presented, using 13 TeV proton-proton collisions data recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.5 fb1^{-1}. The cross sections are presented as a function of jet multiplicity, the jet transverse momenta, and the jet rapidity for different jet multiplicities. The cross section measurements are then compared with the predictions from a multileg next-to-leading-order Monte Carlo generator.
