The Z boson candidates are selected through their decay into a pair of electrons or muons. The process of interest, electroweak Z$\gamma$jj production, is isolated by selecting events with a large dijet mass and a large pseudorapidity gap between the two jets. The measurement is based on data collected at the CMS experiment at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$. The observed significance of the signal is 3.9 standard deviations, where a significance of 5.2 standard deviations is expected in the standard model. These results are combined with published results by CMS at $\sqrt{s} =$ 8 TeV, which leads to observed and expected respective significances of 4.7 and 5.5 standard deviations. From the 13 TeV data, a value is obtained for the signal strength of electroweak Z$\gamma$jj production and bounds are given on quartic vector boson interactions in the framework of dimension-eight effective field theory operators.}, keywords = {Z0: production (autogen) / p p: scattering (autogen) / rapidity: gap (autogen) / dijet: mass (autogen) / electroweak interaction (autogen) / photon (autogen) / CMS (autogen) / effective field theory (autogen) / vector boson (autogen) / electron (autogen) / muon (autogen)}, cin = {CMS}, cid = {I:(DE-H253)CMS-20120731}, pnm = {611 - Fundamental Particles and Forces (POF3-611) / DFG project 390833306 - EXC 2121: Quantum Universe (390833306)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF3-611 / G:(GEPRIS)390833306}, experiment = {EXP:(DE-H253)LHC-Exp-CMS-20150101}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)25}, eprint = {2002.09902}, howpublished = {arXiv:2002.09902}, archivePrefix = {arXiv}, SLACcitation = {$\%\%CITATION$ = $arXiv:2002.09902;\%\%$}, doi = {10.3204/PUBDB-2020-00994}, url = {https://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/436597}, }
