Measurement of the production cross section for Z + b jets in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV
Phys. Rev. D 105 (2022) 092014
Abstract: The measurement of the cross section for the production of a Z boson, decaying to dielectrons or dimuons, in association with at least one bottom quark jet are performed with proton-proton collision data at $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 137 fb$^{-1}$, collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC during 2016-2018. The integrated cross sections for Z $+ \geq $ 1 b jet and Z $+ \geq $ 2 b jets are reported for the electron, muon, and combined channels. The fiducial cross sections in the combined channel are 6.52 $\pm$ 0.04 (stat) $\pm$ 0.40 (syst) $\pm$ 0.14 (theo) pb for Z $+ \geq $ 1 b jet and 0.65 $\pm$ 0.03 (stat) $\pm$ 0.07 (syst) $\pm$ 0.02 (theo) pb for Z $+ \geq $ 2 b jets . The differential cross section distributions are measured as functions of various kinematic observables that are useful for precision tests of perturbative quantum chromodynamics predictions. The ratios of integrated and differential cross sections for Z $+ \geq $ 2 b jets and Z $+ \geq $ 1 b jet processes are also determined. The value of the integrated cross section ratio measured in the combined channel is 0.100 $\pm$ 0.005 (stat) $\pm$ 0.007 (syst) $\pm$ 0.003 (theo). All measurements are compared with predictions from various event generators.

Summary
A measurement of fiducial cross sections of the Z $+ \geq $ 1 b jet and Z $+ \geq $ 2 b jets processes, along with the differential and normalized differential cross section distributions of different kinematic observables, is performed using proton-proton collisions data at $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV collected by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC. This is the first measurement of these processes based on data collected during the 2016-2018 LHC running period. The fiducial cross sections are measured to be 6.52 $\pm$ 0.04 (stat) $\pm$ 0.40 (syst) $\pm$ 0.14 (theo) pb for the Z $+ \geq $ 1 b jet and 0.65 $\pm$ 0.03 (stat) $\pm$ 0.07 (syst) $\pm$ 0.02 (theo) pb for the Z $+ \geq $ 2 b jets , which are better described by the MG3_aMC leading order (LO) simulation but overestimated by MG3_aMC next-to-LO (NLO) and SHERPA predictions. Since all predictions are normalized to the inclusive Z $+$ jets next-to-NLO cross section, differences between MG3_aMC (NLO) and MG3_aMC (LO) results could be attributable to variations in shapes of observables and settings (parton distribution functions, Monte Carlo tunes, matching schemes) used in those simulations. The SHERPA simulation overestimates the measured integrated cross section; however, it provides a good description of the shapes of various kinematic observables. The MG3_aMC (LO) and MG3_aMC (NLO) generators interfaced with PYTHIA describe the fiducial cross section better but do not completely describe the shapes of the kinematic observables. Present measurements can be used as an input for the further optimization of the simulation parameters. The measured value of the cross section ratio of the Z $+ \geq $ 2 b jets to Z $+ \geq $ 1 b jet is 0.100 $\pm$ 0.005 (stat) $\pm$ 0.007 (syst) $\pm$ 0.003 (theo), which is well described by the MG3_aMC (LO, NNPDF 3.0, CUETP8M1) and SHERPA calculations but overestimated by MG3_aMC (NLO) prediction.
