The measurements are performed using proton-proton collisions at √s=13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb<sup>−1</sup> collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. Measurements of angular correlations between the Z boson and the closest jet are performed in events with at least one jet with p<sub>T</sub> ≥ 500 GeV. Event topologies of particular interest are the collinear emission of a Z boson in dijet events and a boosted Z boson recoiling against a jet. Fiducial cross sections are compared with state-of-the-art theoretical predictions. The data are found to agree with next-to-next-to-leading-order predictions by NNLOjet and with the next-to-leading-order multi-leg generators MadGraph5_aMC@NLO and Sherpa. %K p p: scattering (INSPIRE) %K p p: colliding beams (INSPIRE) %K Z0: associated production (INSPIRE) %K Z0: leptonic decay (INSPIRE) %K electron: pair production (INSPIRE) %K muon: pair production (INSPIRE) %K jet: associated production (INSPIRE) %K jet: transverse momentum: high (INSPIRE) %K higher-order: 1 (INSPIRE) %K higher-order: 2 (INSPIRE) %K perturbation theory: higher-order (INSPIRE) %K quantum chromodynamics: perturbation theory (INSPIRE) %K ATLAS (INSPIRE) %K angular correlation (INSPIRE) %K dijet (INSPIRE) %K collinear (INSPIRE) %K CERN LHC Coll (INSPIRE) %K topology (INSPIRE) %K channel cross section: measured (INSPIRE) %K experimental results (INSPIRE) %K 13000 GeV-cms (INSPIRE) %F PUB:(DE-HGF)25 %9 Preprint %R 10.3204/PUBDB-2022-07164 %U https://bib-pubdb1.desy.de/record/486222
