Abstract

The forward-backward asymmetry in Drell-Yan production and the effective leptonic electroweak mixing angle are measured in proton-proton collisions at \sqrt{s} ​ = 13 TeV, collected by the CMS experiment and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb−1−1. The measurement uses both dimuon and dielectron events, and is performed as a function of the dilepton mass and rapidity. The unfolded angular coefficient A4A4​ is also extracted, as a function of the dilepton mass and rapidity. Using the CT18Z set of parton distribution functions, we obtain sin⁡θeffℓ = 0.23152 ±± 0.00031, where the uncertainty includes the experimental and theoretical contributions. The measured value agrees with the standard model fit result to global experimental data. This is the most precise sin⁡θeffℓsinθeffℓ​ measurement at a hadron collider, with a precision comparable to the results obtained at LEP and SLD.
