Abstract
Measurements of the five most significant angular coefficients, A_0 through A_4, for Z bosons produced in pp collisions at √s = 8 TeV and decaying to μ^+μ^− are presented as a function of the transverse momentum and rapidity of the Z boson. The integrated luminosity of the dataset collected with the CMS detector at the LHC corresponds to 19.7 fb^(−1). These measurements provide comprehensive information about the Z boson production mechanisms, and are compared to the QCD predictions at leading order, next-to-leading order, and next-to-next-to-leading order in perturbation theory.
