Study of Z Boson Production in PbPb Collisions at √sNN=2.76  [square root of S subscript NN = 2.76] TeV

A search for Z bosons in the μ+μ- [mu superscript + mu superscript -] decay channel has been performed in PbPb collisions at √sNN=2.76  [square root of S subscript NN = 2.76] TeV with the CMS detector at the LHC, in a 7.2  μb-1 [mu b superscript -1] data sample. The number of opposite-sign muon pair...
