Description
Inclusive W/Z Cross Section Measurement at CMS
Andrew Michael Kubik, Northwestern University
Abstract:
We present the CMS measurement of the W and Z inclusive production cross
sections in proton-proton collisions with sqrt(s) = 7 TeV at the LHC.
Results are obtained using both the electron and muon channels and
approximately 2.9 pb^-1 of integrated luminosity. Descriptions of event
selection, efficiency measurements, and background estimations are given.
