NNLO (massless) and NLO+PS studies for Z+b and Z+c production (will adopt same selections cuts and binning for both processes).

• off-shell Z → mu+ mu-
• pT(Z) > 20 GeV (for generation cuts of event sample, to be jet-algo agnostic)
• central scale choice E_T(Z) = sqrt(m(mu+mu-)^2 + pT(mu+mu-)^2)
• mu+ & mu- with pT(mu) > 20 GeV, |y(mu)| < 2.4 and 71 GeV < m(mu+mu-) < 111 GeV

We will adapt the same analysis (selection cuts + histogram binning) as in the 8 TeV CMS measurement HEPData, Rivet. Note the additional “generation cut” ptz > 20 GeV and that we'll perform our study at 13 TeV.

Fixed-order NNLO predictions with and without bottom-quark masses. Idea: study how large the log(mb) are in different kinematic regimes and how differences in flavour tagging impact observables.
