This PhD thesis presents the measurement of the differential cross section for the production of a Z boson in association with jets in proton-proton collisions taking place at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, at a centre-of-mass energy of 8 TeV. A development of a data acquisition (DAQ) system for the Triple-Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detector in view of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector upgrade is also presented.<p><p>The events used for the data analysis were collected by the CMS detector during the year 2012 and constitute a sample of 19:6 fb-& / Doctorat en Sciences / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished
