Description

The Future Circular Collider (FCC) plans to measure the Z parameters at center-of-mass energies $$ \sqrt{s} \approx m_Z $$ via measurements of the dimuon cross section and forward-backward asymmetries. We produce a numerical model for the Z –> μ+μ- decay with a Monte Carlo simulation to make predictions. We replicate the measurements performed with the L3 detector in the years 1993–95 to verify our simulation and compare existing Monte Carlo generators, Whizard, KKMCee, and ReneSCANCe.
