The data sample, collected with the CMS detector, corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 5 fb−1. The asymmetry is measured as a function of dilepton mass and rapidity in the dielectron and dimuon channels. Combined results from the two channels are presented, and are compared with the standard model predictions. The AFB measurement in the dimuon channel and the combination of the two channels are the first such results obtained at a hadron collider. The measured asymmetries are consistent with the standard model predictions. eng Elsevier Open access under CC BY-NC-ND license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ Forward–backward asymmetry of Drell–Yan lepton pairs in pp collisions at √s=7 TeV Journal article Physics Letters B CMSphysicselectroweakDrell-Yan 718 3 Text http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2012.10.082 publisher version 752 772
