Abstract

We report on a precision measurement of the effective weak mixing angle using the forward-backward asymmetry, A_FB, in Drell-Yan (ee and μμ) events in pp collisions at √(s)=8~TeV at the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The results are compared to other hadron collider measurements published by ATLAS, LHCb, CDF, D0 and Tevatron combination.
