Özet
A measurement is presented of the cross section for the electroweak production of a Z boson and a photon in association with two jets in proton–proton collisions at s= 8 TeV. The Z bosons are identified through their decays to electron or muon pairs. The measurement is based on data collected with the CMS detector corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb− 1. The electroweak contribution has a significance of 3.0 standard deviations, and the measured fiducial cross section is 1.86− 0.75+ 0.90 (stat)− 0.26+ 0.34 (syst)±0.05 (lumi) fb, while the summed electroweak and quantum chromodynamic total cross section in the same region is observed to be 5.94− 1.35+ 1.53 (stat)− 0.37+ 0.43 (syst)±0.13 (lumi) fb. Both measurements are consistent with the leading-order standard model predictions. Limits on anomalous quartic gauge couplings are set based on the Z γ mass distribution.
