Preparations for Measurement of the W and Z Production Cross-Sections with Early CMS Data
Abstract
Description
The CMS analysis strategy for the early data measurement of the inclusive W and Z production cross-sections using their electron decay modes is presented. This measurement is expected to be among the first from the LHC and so appropriately robust selections and data-driven methods are used. A significant measurement is possible with an integrated luminosity of 10 inverse pb.
