@article{10902/32547, year = {2023}, month = {7}, url = {https://hdl.handle.net/10902/32547}, abstract = {A precise measurement of the invisible width of the Z boson produced in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV is presented using data recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.3 fb−¹. The result is obtained from a simultaneous fit to kinematic distributions for two data samples of Z boson plus jets: one dominated by Z boson decays to invisible particles and the other by Z boson decays to muon and electron pairs. The invisible width is measured to be 523 ±3 (stat) ±16 (syst) MeV. This result is the first precise measurement of the invisible width of the Z boson at a hadron collider, and is the single most precise direct measurement to date, competitive with the combined result of the direct measurements from the LEP experiments.}, publisher = {Elsevier}, publisher = {Physics Letters B, 2023, 842, 137563}, title = {Precision measurement of the Z boson invisible width in pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV}, author = {Tumasyan, A. and Brochero Cifuentes, Javier Andrés and Cabrillo Bartolomé, José Iban and Calderón Tazón, Alicia and Duarte Campderros, Jorge and Fernández García, Marcos and Fernández Madrazo, Celia and Fernández Manteca, Pedro José and García Alonso, Andrea and Gómez Gramuglio, Gervasio and Martínez Rivero, Celso and Martínez Ruiz del Árbol, Pablo and Matorras Weinig, Francisco and Matorras Cuevas, Pablo and Piedra Gómez, Jonatan and Prieëls, Cedric and Rodrigo Anoro, Teresa and Ruiz Jimeno, Alberto and Scodellaro, Luca and Vila Álvarez, Iván and Vizán García, Jesús Manuel}, }
