Abstract

Ameasurement of the invisible width of the 𝑍 boson using events with jets and missing transverse momentum is presented using 37 fb−1 of 13 TeV proton–proton data collected by the ATLAS detector in 2015 and 2016. The ratio of 𝑍 →inv to 𝑍 →𝓁𝓁 events, where inv refers to non-detected particles and 𝓁 is either an electron or a muon, is measured and corrected for detector effects. Events with at least one energetic central jet with 𝑝T ≥ 110 GeV are selected for both the 𝑍 → inv and 𝑍 → 𝓁𝓁 final states to obtain a similar phase space in the ratio. The invisible width is measured to be 506 ±2(stat.)±12(syst.) MeV and is the single most precise recoil-based measurement. The result is in agreement with the most precise determination from LEP and the Standard Model prediction based on three neutrino generations.
