Abstract

A measurement is presented of the cross section for the electroweak production of a Z boson and a photon in association with two jets in proton-proton collisions at √s = 8 TeV. The Z bosons are identified through their decays to electron or muon pairs. The measurement is based on data collected with the CMS detector corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb−1 . The electroweak contribution has a significance of 3.0 standard deviations, and the measured fiducial cross section is 1.86+0.90 −0.75 (stat)+0.34 −0.26 (syst) ± 0.05 (lumi) fb, while the summed electroweak and quantum chromodynamic total cross section in the same region is observed to be 5.94+1.53 −1.35 (stat)+0.43 −0.37 (syst) ± 0.13 (lumi) fb. Both measurements are consistent with the leading-order standard model predictions. Limits on anomalous quartic gauge couplings are set based on the Zγ mass distribution.
