title = "Measurement of the Z-Boson Mass",
abstract = "The first dedicated Z-boson mass measurement at the LHC with Z→μ\textasciicircum{}\{+\}μ\textasciicircum{}\{-\} decays is reported. The dataset uses proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, recorded in 2016 by the LHCb experiment, and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 1.7 fb\textasciicircum{}\{-1\}. A template fit to the μ\textasciicircum{}\{+\}μ\textasciicircum{}\{-\} mass distribution yields the following result for the Z-boson mass: m\_\{Z\}=91,185.7±8.3±3.9 MeV, where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic. This result is consistent with previous measurements and predictions from global electroweak fits.",
