The constituents of a hadron, the partons, each carry a different momentum fraction of the total hadron. These momentum fractions are described by the so-called parton distribution functions (PDFs). Due to the factorization theorem of Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the PDFs are the same for all scattering processes.</p> <p>Multiple different production channels are expected to improve the precision of the experimentally obtained PDFs, including vector boson production in association with a jet. The presented analysis covers this crucial ingredient in the context of the Z boson production with at least one jet. A triple differential measurement provides an insight into the different contributions from the proton&rsquo;s constituents to the Z+jet production in different regions of the analyzed phase space.</p> <p>The triple-differential inclusive cross-section is measured as a function of three different kinematic variables, namely the transverse momentum of the Z boson, the difference in rapidity between the Z boson and the jet, as well as the boost of the center-of-mass system. Those variables allow for a suitable division of the phase space in order to obtain a better sensitivity to the partonic sub-processes and the initial state parton momenta. The presented measurement is expected to contribute to a more precise determination of the PDFs, especially the gluon PDF.</p></subfield> </datafield> <datafield tag="980" ind1=" " ind2=" "> <subfield code="a">thesis</subfield> <subfield code="b">master-thesis</subfield> </datafield> </record>
