The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb−1 collected with the CMS detector at the LHC. Differential distributions and normalized differential cross sections are measured as a function of jet multiplicity, transverse momentum pT, pseudorapidity η, invariant mass and ∆η of the highest-pT and second-highest-pT jets, and as a function of invariant mass of the four-lepton system for events with various jet multiplicities. These differential cross sections are compared with theoretical predictions that mostly agree with the experimental data. However, in a few regions we observe discrepancies between the predicted and measured values. Further improvement of the predictions is required to describe the ZZ+jets production in the whole phase space. © The Author(s) 2024.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessHadron-Hadron ScatteringVector Boson ProductionArticleQ1Q1202410
