The kinematic observable ?* correlates with the dilepton transverse momentum but has better resolution, and y is the dilepton rapidity. The analysis is based on data collected with the CMS experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb?1. The normalised cross section (1/σ) dσ/d?*, within the fiducial kinematic region, is measured with a precision of better than 0.5% for ?* < 1. The measurements are compared to theoretical predictions and they agree, typically, within few percent.[Figure not available: see fulltext.] ? 2018, The Author(s).[SDGs]SDG7Measurement of differential cross sections in the kinematic angular variable ? * for inclusive Z boson production in pp collisions at √s=8 TeVjournal article10.1007/JHEP03(2018)1722-s2.0-85045091334
