Description
The measurement of the WZ diboson production cross section in 7 and 8 TeV protonproton
interactions is reported from the ATLAS experiment. The measurement is derived from events in
which bosons decay leptonically with electrons, muons, and missing energy in the final state.
The data are used to test the electroweak sector of the Standard Model and search for evidence
for new phenomena. The cross section results are first obtained in phase space regions defined
by the decay kinematics and then extrapolated to the full phase space. Differential and total
cross sections for WZ production are compared to NLO predictions of the standard model and
used to place constraints on anomalous triplegaugeboson
couplings.
