Abstract

In this paper we review the results of a measurement of the forward-backward asymmetry of oppositely charged lepton pairs produced via Z/γ* boson in pp collisions during the LHC Run 1 at √s = 8 TeV with integrated luminosity 19.1 fb^-1 (2012). We also present our preliminary results obtained with Monte Carlo samples at √s = 13 TeV
