Abstract

An event recorded with the CMS detector at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, compatible with the ttZ signature: two muons (red lines) arise from the decay of the Z boson, while each of the top quarks decay into a b quark, which is then reconstructed as a b jet (orange cone) and a W boson. In one case, the W boson decays hadronically leading to two light jets (yellow cones), whereas in the second case it decays into an electron (green line) and a neutrino.
