The production of jets in association with Z bosons, reconstructed via the μ[superscript +]μ[superscript -] and e[superscript +]e[superscript -] decay channels, is studied in pp and, for the first time, in Pb-Pb collisions. Both data samples were collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, at a nucleon-nucleon center-of-mass energy of 5.02 TeV. The Pb-Pb collisions were analyzed in the 0%-30% centrality range. The back-to-back azimuthal alignment was studied in both pp and Pb-Pb collisions for Z bosons with transverse momentum p[superscript Z][subscript T] > 60 GeV/c and a recoiling jet with p[superscript jet][subscript T] > 30 GeV/c. The p[subscript T] imbalance x[subscript jZ]=p[superscript jet][subscript T]/p[superscript Z][subscript T], as well as the average number of jet partners per Z, R[subscript jZ], was studied in intervals of p[superscript Z][subscript T]. The R[subscript jZ] is found to be smaller in Pb-Pb than in pp collisions, which suggests that in Pb-Pb collisions a larger fraction of partons associated with the Z bosons fall below the 30 GeV/c p[superscript jet][subscript T] threshold because they lose energy.
