Events are selected based on the presence of three leptons, electrons or muons, associated with leptonic Z boson and top quark decays. The measurement yields an inclusive cross section of $87.9\\text{ }_{-7.3}^{+7.5}\\text{ (stat) }_{-6.0}^{+7.3}\\text{ (syst) fb}$ for a dilepton invariant mass greater than 30 GeV, in agreement with standard model (SM) calculations. The ratio between the cross sections for the top quark and the top antiquark production in association with a Z boson is measured as $2.37\\text{ }_{-0.42}^{+0.56}\\text{ (stat) }_{-0.13}^{+0.27}\\text{ (syst)}$. Differential measurements at parton and particle levels are performed for the first time. Several kinematic observables are considered to study the modeling of the process. Results are compared to theoretical predictions with different assumptions on the source of the initial-state b quark and found to be in agreement, within the uncertainties. Additionally, the spin asymmetry, which is sensitive to the top quark polarization, is determined from the differential distribution of the polarization angle at parton level to be $0.58\\text{ }^{+0.15}_{-0.16} \\text{ (stat) } {\\pm 0.06}\\text{ (syst)}$, in agreement with SM predictions using the MGvATNLO event generator at next-to-leading order.","hasPart":[{"@id":"https://doi.org/10.17182/hepdata.105865.v1/t1","@type":"Dataset","description":"Numerical results of inclusive cross section measurements.
