Production of W and Z bosons in ATLAS

The first measurements of the W and Z boson cross section in proton-proton collisions at $sqrt{s}$=7 TeV are presented using data recorded in the ATLAS detector. In addition the first observation of hadronically decaying tau leptons in ATLAS is reported. Results are found to be compatible with theor...

Sumario:The first measurements of the W and Z boson cross section in proton-proton collisions at $sqrt{s}$=7 TeV are presented using data recorded in the ATLAS detector. In addition the first observation of hadronically decaying tau leptons in ATLAS is reported. Results are found to be compatible with theoretical predictions based on NNLO QCD calculations.
