The search is based on a data sample of pp collisions collected at $\sqrt{s}=8$ TeV in 2012, |

corresponding to an integrated luminosity of \lumi. |

The production of Z bosons is expected in many BSM scenarios, for example supersymmetric (SUSY) |
| 11 |
|
models. In SUSY models with neutralino lightest SUSY particle (LSP), Z bosons may be produced in the decays $\chi^0_2\to Z \chi^0_1$, |
