Electroweak boson production at LHCb

Measurements of $W$ and $Z$ boson production provide important tests of the Standard Model as well as being inputs for determining the parton density functions of the proton. $W$ and $Z$ production cross-sections, and their ratios, have been measured using the LHCb detector and are reported here.

Sumario:Measurements of $W$ and $Z$ boson production provide important tests of the Standard Model as well as being inputs for determining the parton density functions of the proton. $W$ and $Z$ production cross-sections, and their ratios, have been measured using the LHCb detector and are reported here. Datasets of up to 1 fb$^{-1}$ at $\sqrt{s}$ = 7 TeV are used.
