Measurements of the inclusive electron cross-section in proton-proton collisions at sqrt s = 7 TeV with the ATLAS detector.

This poster presents measurements of the inclusive differential cross-section of electron production in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. From a data sample of 1.4 pb-1 collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider, the electron cross-section measurement is presented as a function of transverse momentum, pT , in the range 7 < pT < 26 GeV and within pseudorapidity |eta| < 2.0, correcting for all detector effects. After removal of the Drell-Yan contribution, the measured differential cross-section is found to be in good agreement with theoretical predictions for heavy-flavour production obtained from Fixed Order NLO calculations with Next-to-Leading-Log high-pT resummation.
