Parton distributions at 14 TeV with ATLAS

Accurate measurements at ATLAS will allow perturbative QCD to be tested in an energy regime never probed. Operating at the expected level of precision, ATLAS will measure SM cross sections and QCD related processes at the LHC which will further constrain the parton densities distributions. We presen...

Sumario:Accurate measurements at ATLAS will allow perturbative QCD to be tested in an energy regime never probed. Operating at the expected level of precision, ATLAS will measure SM cross sections and QCD related processes at the LHC which will further constrain the parton densities distributions. We present results from simulations of jet studies, direct photon production, Drell-Yan processes and heavy flavour production which indicate the potential to investigate the partonic structure of protons at ATLAS.
