Measurement of Inclusive W and Z Production in ATLAS

A summary of five ATLAS $W$ and $Z$ inclusive measurements are presented, these are a mixture of analyses using the 2010 and 2011 datasets of $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV proton-proton collisions at the LHC. The 2010 data is used to measure the cross sections of the $Z$, $W^{+}$ and $W^{-}$ bosons which are the...

description A summary of five ATLAS $W$ and $Z$ inclusive measurements are presented, these are a mixture of analyses using the 2010 and 2011 datasets of $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV proton-proton collisions at the LHC. The 2010 data is used to measure the cross sections of the $Z$, $W^{+}$ and $W^{-}$ bosons which are then used with the HERA deep inelastic scattering data to determine the strange quark density of the proton. Three analyses that use 2011 data are shown; a measurement of the forward-backward asymmetry of the $Z/\gamma^{*}$ boson, from which the effective weak mixing angle is extracted; a measurement of the angular correlations of Drell-Yan lepton pairs from resonant $Z$ decays; and a measurement of the high mass Drell-Yan differential cross section.
