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

This poster presents the measurement of the inclusive differential cross-section as a function of the transverse momentum pT for electron production in proton-proton collisions at a center of mass energy of sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. From a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 1.3 pb-1 collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC, the electron cross-sections is measured in the range 7<pT<26 GeV and within |eta| <2.0, excluding the 1.37<|eta|<1.52 region. After subtraction of the W/Z/\gamma^* contribution, the differential cross-section is found to be in good agreement with theoretical predictions for heavy-flavour production obtained from Fixed Order NLO calculations with NLL high-pT resummation.
