Eleni Petrakou (Nat. Cent. for Sci. Res. Demokritos (NRCPS))02/09/2010, 10:00PosterPoster and PresentationThe operation and general performance of the CMS electromagnetic calorimeter at sqrt{s} = 7 TeV are described. The first LHC beams have been used to finalize the commissioning of ECAL readout and trigger. The precision of the inter-channel synchronization and calibration has been verified and improved with collision data, exploiting decays of pi0s and eta into two photons, the phi invariance...Go to contribution page

Ms Regina Kwee (CERN/Humboldt University of Berlin)02/09/2010, 10:08PosterPoster and PresentationSince the restart of the LHC, ATLAS has successfully recorded data at sqrt{s} = 0.9 and 7 TeV. The ATLAS trigger strategy realised a step-wise activation of the three level trigger system, starting with hardware-based first-level (L1) triggers and moving with increasing luminosities to the deployment of the software-based high-level triggers (HLT). We will present L1 and HLT triggers and their...Go to contribution page

Verena Ingrid Martinez Outschoorn (Harvard University)02/09/2010, 10:16PosterPoster and PresentationThe first measurement of the production cross-sections for W and Z bosons in proton proton interactions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV are reported from the ATLAS experiment. Based on its excellent capability for reconstructing both high pT electrons and muons, the electron and the muon decay modes of the W/Z bosons are compared. First results for the ratio of W/Z production and of W+/W- production...Go to contribution page

Daniel Martschei (Inst. fuer Experimentelle Kernphys.-Universitaet Karlsruhe-Unkno)02/09/2010, 10:24PosterPoster and PresentationWe describe a measurement of the inclusive b-jet production in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV. The analysis has been done on the first physics data collected by the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. To improve the low p_T measurement, the jets are reconstructed with the Particle Flow algorithm. The experimental uncertainties from jet energy corrections, jet energy...Go to contribution page

Dr Jan Lueck (EKP)02/09/2010, 10:32PosterPoster and PresentationAfter the first observation of the inclusive single top-quark production in the s- and t-channels by both CDF and D0, the Tevatron collaborations combined their measurements using the distributions of their multivariate discriminants. A Bayesian analysis is used to extract the cross section at a center of mass energy of 1.96 TeV from 3.2/fb (CDF) and 2.3/fb (D0) of data, respectively. For a...Go to contribution page
