First Observation of Forward Z → b[¯ over b] Production in Pp Collisions at √s = 8 TeV

The decay Z→b[¯ over b] is reconstructed in pp collision data, corresponding to 2 fb[superscript −1] of integrated luminosity, collected by the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of √s = 8 TeV. The product of the Z production cross-section and the Z→b[¯ over b] branching fraction is measured...
