Book excerpt: With this research, the ATLAS Collaboration measures the inclusive production of Z bosons via their decays into electron and muon pairs in p + Pb collisions at \(\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}} = 5.02\) TeV at the Large Hadron Collider. The measurements are made using data corresponding to integrated luminosities of 29.4 and 28.1 nb-1 for Z → ee and Z → [mu][mu], respectively. The results from the two channels are consistent and combined to obtain a cross section times the Z → ll branching ratio, integrated over the rapidity region
