Z boson Measurements in pp Collisions at RHIC

At the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), pp collisions at center of mass energy 500 GeV often produce Z bosons. We will show results of the momentum balance between the Z boson and the away side jet (X$_{\mathrm{Zjet}})$ using PYTHIA 8 simulations. Using experimental data, muon and electron decay channels are used by STAR to find the Z boson and jet momenta ratio as well as the Z boson production cross section. We will show the feasibility of measuring this observable at STAR. The analysis may be used to further constrain parton distribution functions or to find insights into the matter produced in pp collisions.
