Abstract

The LHCb experiment offers a complementary phase space region to ATLAS and CMS to study electroweak processes, thanks to the precision in the forward acceptance, corresponding to the pseudo-rapidity range 2 <η<5. Here the measurement of the leptons asymmetry in the decay Z → μ+μ−, performed using data collected by LHCb during the LHC Run I data taking, is presented. By studying this asymmetry LHCb determined the effective electroweak mixing angle, with the highest precision of the LHC experiments.
