Inclusive W/Z production at CMS
At the LHC, the production cross sections of W/Z bosons are tens to hundreds of nanobarns. The production mechanism of these processes is well established in the Standard Model and these processes can be used as ``standard candles'' to help commission the CMS detector for physics. L...

| description | At the LHC, the production cross sections of W/Z bosons are tens to
hundreds of
nanobarns. The production mechanism of these processes
is well established in the Standard Model and these processes
can be used as ``standard
candles'' to help commission the CMS
detector for physics. Leptonic decays of W/Z bosons are expected to have
very high trigger efficiency and signal to background ratio. Therefore they
are ideal channels to study the properties of W/Z bosons in detail,
such as cross sections and charge asymmetry. In this paper early CMS results
on inclusive W/Z production at 10 TeV center-of-mass energy are discussed. |
