Description
The forward-backward asymmetry in Drell–Yan production and the effective leptonic weak mixing angle are measured using a sample of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV collected by the CMS experiment and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 137 fb−1. The measurement uses both dimuon and dielectron events, and is performed as a function of the dilepton’s mass and rapidity. The measured value agrees with the standard model prediction. The total uncertainty using the CT18 PDF is 0.00031. This is the most precise $\sin^2\theta^{\ell}_{\mathrm{eff}}$ measurement at a hadron collider, with a precision comparable to the results obtained at LEP and SLD.
