Measurement of the hadronic activity in events with a Z and two jets and extraction of the cross section for the electroweak production of a Z with two jets in pp collisions at √s =7 TeV

The first measurement of the electroweak production cross section of a Z boson with two jets (Zjj) in pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV is presented, based on a data sample recorded by the CMS experiment at the LHC with an integrated luminosity of 5 fb[superscript −1]. The cross section is measured for th...
