Measurement of W± -boson and Z-boson production cross-sections in pp collisions at s√=2.76 TeV with the ATLAS detector

Abstract The production cross-sections for $$W^{\pm }$$ W± andZbosons are measured using ATLAS data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.0 pb $$^{-1}$$ -1 collected at a centre-of-mass energy $$\sqrt{s}=2.76$$ s=2.76 TeV. The decay channels $$W \rightarrow \ell \nu $$ W→ℓν and $$Z \rightarrow \ell \ell $$ Z→ℓℓ are used, where $$\ell $$ ℓ can be an electron or a muon. The cross-sections are presented for a fiducial region defined by the detector acceptance and are also extrapolated to the full phase space for the total inclusive production cross-section. The combined (average) total inclusive cross-sections for the electron and muon channels are: $$\begin{aligned} \sigma ^{\text {tot}}_{W^{+}\rightarrow \ell \nu }= & {} 2312 \pm 26\ (\text {stat.})\\&\pm 27\ (\text {syst.}) \pm 72\ (\text {lumi.}) \pm 30\ (\text {extr.})~\text {pb} , \\ \sigma ^{\text {tot}}_{W^{-}\rightarrow \ell \nu }= & {} 1399 \pm 21\ (\text {stat.})\ \pm 17\ (\text {syst.}) \\&\pm 43\ (\text {lumi.}) \pm 21\ (\text {extr.})~\text {pb} , \\ \sigma ^{\text {tot}}_{Z \rightarrow \ell \ell }= & {} 323.4 \pm 9.8\ (\text {stat.}) \pm 5.0\ (\text {syst.})\\&\pm 10.0\ (\text {lumi.}) \pm 5.5 (\text {extr.}) ~\text {pb} . \end{aligned}$$ σW+→ℓνtot= 2312±26(stat.) ±27(syst.)±72(lumi.)±30(extr.)pb, σW-→ℓνtot= 1399±21(stat.)±17(syst.) ±43(lumi.)±21(extr.)pb, σZ→ℓℓtot= 323.4±9.8(stat.)±5.0(syst.) ±10.0(lumi.)±5.5(extr.)pb. Measured ratios and asymmetries constructed using these cross-sections are also presented. These observables benefit from full or partial cancellation of many systematic uncertainties that are correlated between the different measurements.
