W and Z boson Productions in CMS at LHC startup

Sumario: | We report on potential for measurement of W and Z boson production, as well as the production in association with jets.
Of particular interest are jet multiplicity and $P_{\rm T}$ distributions. The 10 to $100~{\rm pb}^{-1}$
datasets expected in the startup year of operation of LHC are likely to already provide
information beyond the reach of the Tevatron collider both in jet multiplicity and $P_{\rm T}$ range.
We are especially interested in understanding the ratios of W+jets to Z+jets distributions by
comparing them to next-to-leading order Monte Carlo generators, as these processes present a
formidable background for searches of new physics phenomena. |
