- Author contribution statement
- This measurement was a major effort with 6 related channels. My contribution was in the measurement of Z/ɣ* channel decaying to muons. Together with my student I performed a precise estimation of the muon trigger efficiency and related systematic uncertainties. In addition we performed a data-driven multijet background estimation, and several cross-checks of the analysis. I proposed the idea to measure the cross section in the extended phase space region outside the resonant peaks to provide added PDF sensitivity of the measurement through the different boson couplings on-shell and off-shell. I also contributed to editing the paper draft.
