Abstract
The production of a Z boson in association with jets at the LHC provides a reference both for the physics measurements and for the understanding of the detector response. With the large center-of-mass energy of the colliding hadrons obtained with the LHC, jet production is present in almost all the processes under study. The decay of the Z boson to charged leptons allows for a clean and efficient selection of a signal sample, therefore the ideal conditions for the study of jet production. Differential cross section measurements of the Z boson production in association with jets are presented, using 8 and 13 TeV proton-proton collisions data recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC. The cross sections are presented as a function of jet multiplicity, the jet transverse momenta and the jet rapidity for different jet multiplicities. The cross section measurements are then compared with the predictions from a multileg next-to-leading- order Monte Carlo generator.
