Description

A measurement of the forward-backward asymmetry AFB of oppositely charged lepton pairs produced via Z/γ∗ boson exchange in pp collisions at the LHC is presented. The data samples were collected with the CMS detector. The AFB measurements as a function of dilepton mass and rapidity are compared with the standard model predictions.
