The data were collected by the CMS detector in 2016 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb(-1). In these measurements, events are selected containing an imbalance in transverse momentum and one or more energetic jets. The fiducial differential cross section is measured as a function of the Z boson transverse momentum. The results are combined with a previous measurement of charged-lepton decays of the Z boson. The measured total fiducial cross section for events with Z boson transverse momentum greater than 200 GeV is 3000(-170)(+180) fb.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessHadron-Hadron scattering (experiments)Lepton productionParticle and resonance productionMeasurement of the Z boson differential production cross section using its invisible decay mode (Z → ν(ν)over-bar) in proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeVArticle510.1007/JHEP05(2021)2052-s2.0-85106904408Q1WOS:000653768700001Q1
