Abstract

A measurement of the forward–backward asymmetry A_FB 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 A_FB is performed for dilepton masses between 40 GeV and 2 TeV and for dilepton rapidity up to 5. The A_FB measurements as a function of dilepton mass and rapidity are compared with the standard model predictions.
