  "abstract": "In this note we present a measurement of the VZ (V=W,Z) production cross section in proton-proton collisions at $\\sqrt{s}=$8 TeV in the VZ$\\rightarrow$V$b\\bar{b}$ decay mode with V$=$Z$\\rightarrow (\\nu\\bar{\\nu}$,$\\ell\\ell$), V$=$W$\\rightarrow \\ell{\\nu}$, ($\\ell=e,\\mu$). The results are based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 18.9 fb$^{-1}$ collected with the CMS experiment. The process is observed for the first time in this particular final state with a significance exceeding six standard deviations ($\\sigma$). The measured cross sections are consistent with the predictions of NLO calculations.",
