Observation of the Z → ψ ℓ + ℓ - decay in pp collisions at v s = 13 TeV

This Letter presents the observation of the rare Z boson decay Z→ ψ ℓ + ℓ − . Here, ψ represents contributions from direct J/ψ and ψ ( 2 S ) → J / ψ X , ℓ + ℓ − is a pair of electrons or muons, and the J/ψ meson is detected via its decay to μ + μ − . The sample of proton-proton collision data, colle...
