Measurement of the $ \mathrm{Z}\gamma $ production cross section and search for anomalous neutral triple gauge couplings in pp collisions at $ \sqrt{s}= $ 13 TeV / CMS Collaboration
A measurement of the fiducial cross section of the associated production of a Z boson and a high-$ p_{\mathrm{T}} $ photon, where the Z decays to two neutrinos, and a search for anomalous triple gauge couplings are reported. [...]
