Inclusive and differential cross-sections are measured for events containing aZboson decaying into electrons or muons and produced in association with at least one or at least two b-jets with transverse momentum p(T)>20 GeV and rapidity vertical bar y vertical bar <2.5. Predictions from several Monte Carlo generators based on leading-order (LO) or next-to-leading-order (NLO) matrix elements interfaced with a parton-shower simulation and testing different flavour schemes for the choice of initial-state partons are compared with measured cross-sections. The 5-flavour number scheme predictions at NLO accuracy agree better with data than 4-flavour number scheme ones. The 4-flavour number scheme predictions underestimate data in events with at least one b-jet.", optnote="WOS:000566576600001", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=4527), last updated on Wed, 23 Sep 2020 09:23:00 +0000", issn="1029-8479", doi="10.1007/JHEP07(2020)044", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/2003.11960", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP07(2020)044", language="English" }
