Abstract (englisch):

The achievable precision in the calculations of predictions for observables measured at the LHC experiments depends on the amount of invested computing power and the precision of input parameters that go into the calculation. Currently, no theory exists that can derive the input parameter values for perturbative calculations from first principles. Instead, they have to be derived from measurements in dedicated analyses that measure observables sensitive to the input parameters with high precision. Such an analysis that measures the production cross section of oppositely charged muon pairs with an invariant mass close to the mass of the $\mathrm{Z}$ boson in association with jets in a phase space divided into bins of the transverse momentum of the dimuon system $p_T^\text{Z}$, and two observables $y^*$ and $y_b$ created from the rapidities of the dimuon system and the jet with the highest momentum is presented. To achieve the highest statistical precision in this triple-differential measurement the full data recorded by the CMS experiment at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=13\,\mathrm{TeV}$ in the years 2016 to 2018 is combined. The measured cross sections are compared to theoretical predictions approximating full NNLO accuracy in perturbative QCD. ... mehr
