Cross-section Measurements of Electroweak Boson production in ATLAS

The W and Z bosons are abundantly produced in LHC. They are important processes: given that the underlying hard scattering production process is well known, their study allows on one hand to test perturbative QCD and on the other hand to constrain the parton density functions of the proton. In this...

Sumario:The W and Z bosons are abundantly produced in LHC. They are important processes: given that the underlying hard scattering production process is well known, their study allows on one hand to test perturbative QCD and on the other hand to constrain the parton density functions of the proton. In this poster, the analyses of the leptonic decay channels Z->ll and W->lnu (l=e,mu) are presented. The current ATLAS results on the inclusive and differential cross-section measurements and on the W charge asymmetry measurements are given.
