Measurements of differential Z boson production cross sections in pp collisions with CMS at $\sqrt{s}= $ 13 TeV
Abstract: We present measurements of the differential $\mathrm{Z}/\gamma^{*}$ production cross sections in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}= $ 13 TeV in the electron and muon final states. The data collected with the CMS detector at the LHC correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$. The measured fiducial inclusive cross section times branching fraction agrees with next-to-next-to-leading-order QCD calculations. Distributions of the transverse momentum, the angular variable $\phi^{*}$, and the rapidity of lepton pairs are measured. The data are corrected for detector effects and compared to theoretical predictions.
