Electroweak di-boson production in ATLAS

In the LHC era, it is crucial to gain a good understanding of the electroweak sector of the Standard Model (SM). Determining the cross-sections of electroweak processes is therefore of great importance, both as prerequisites to Higgs-Boson searches as well as measurements in their own right. For thi...

Sumario:In the LHC era, it is crucial to gain a good understanding of the electroweak sector of the Standard Model (SM). Determining the cross-sections of electroweak processes is therefore of great importance, both as prerequisites to Higgs-Boson searches as well as measurements in their own right. For this conference, several new measurements with the data from proton-proton collisions at \sqrt{s} = 7 TeV taken in 2010 and 2011 with the ATLAS detector have been prepared: A measurement of the isolated di-photon cross-section using 37 pb^{-1} collected in 2010 and a measurement of the WZ production cross-section using 205 pb^{-1} collected in 2011. In addition and for a complete view of the electroweak sector, the already published measurements of the W\gamma and Z\gamma cross-sections and the WW cross-sections are presented as well.
