A measurement of the cross-section for pp → Z → e+ e− is presented using data at √s = 7 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 0.94 fb^−1. The process is measured within the kinematic acceptance p_T > 20 GeV/c and 2 < η < 4.5 for the daughter electrons and dielectron invariant mass in the range 60–120 GeV/c^2. The cross-section is determined to be σ(pp → Z → e+ e−) = 76.0 ± 0.8 ± 2.0 ± 2.6 pb where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic and the third is the uncertainty in the luminosity. The measurement is performed as a function of Z rapidity and as a function of an angular variable which is closely related to the Z transverse momentum. The results are compared with previous LHCb measurements and with theoretical predictions from QCD.

Abstract

A measurement of the cross-section for pp → Z → e+ e− is presented using data at √s = 7 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 0.94 fb^−1. The process is measured within the kinematic acceptance p_T > 20 GeV/c and 2 < η < 4.5 for the daughter electrons and dielectron invariant mass in the range 60–120 GeV/c^2. The cross-section is determined to be σ(pp → Z → e+ e−) = 76.0 ± 0.8 ± 2.0 ± 2.6 pb where the first uncertainty is statistical, the second is systematic and the third is the uncertainty in the luminosity. The measurement is performed as a function of Z rapidity and as a function of an angular variable which is closely related to the Z transverse momentum. The results are compared with previous LHCb measurements and with theoretical predictions from QCD.
