Measurement of the transverse momentum distributions of Z Bosons decaying to dimuons in pp collisions at sqrt(s)=8 TeV
Abstract: A measurement of the transverse momentum distribution of the dimuon system, produced in the Drell-Yan process is reported for the Z boson mass range of 60 to 120~GeV/c2. The results are obtained using a data sample of proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 8 TeV, collected by the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 18.4 pb1. An overall agreement with the predictions from the standard model is observed, but no single model reproduces the transverse-momentum distribution over the accessible range.
