Early W and Z Measurements at ATLAS

These measurements are made in channels with electrons or muons in the final state, and the combined cross sections are also prese...

Sumario:The first measurements of the W and Z cross sections in pp collisions at sqrt{s} = 7 TeV using the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have been completed. These measurements are made in channels with electrons or muons in the final state, and the combined cross sections are also presented. The charge asymmetry of W production as a function of the psuedorapidity of the lepton has also been observed and measured.
