Description

A measurement of the forward.backward asymmetry AFB of oppositely charged lepton pairs (μμ and ee) produced via Z/γ* boson exchange in pp collisions at √(s) = 8 TeV is presented. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb-1 collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. The measurement of AFB is performed for dilepton masses between 40 GeV and 2 TeV and for dilepton rapidity up to 5. The AFB measurements as a function of dilepton mass and rapidity are compared with the standard model predictions. (orig.)
