Standard Model tests and searches with photons at the LHC

We report on the sensitivity of the LHC experiments to the Standard Model predictions for W±gamma and Zgamma productions in pp collisions with final states containing electrons, muons and photons.

description We report on the sensitivity of the LHC experiments to the Standard Model predictions for W±gamma and Zgamma productions in pp collisions with final states containing electrons, muons and photons. The studies use detector simulation data at sqrt{s}=14 TeV including calibration and alignment corrections. The results show that the cross-section measurements of W±gamma, and Zgamma can be established with significance better than 5 sigma for the first 0.1 fb-1 of integrated luminosity. The sensitivities to anomalous triple gauge boson couplings is also estimated. The measurements can be significantly improved with 1 fb-1 of data over the results from the Tevatron.
