Search for Associated Production of a Z Boson with a Single Top Quark and for tZ Flavour-Changing Interactions in Pp Collisions at √s = 8 TeV

A search for the production of a single top quark in association with a Z boson is presented, both to identify the expected standard model process and to search for flavour-changing neutral current interactions. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 19.7 fb⁻1recorded by the CMS...
