Production of W and Z in ATLAS

From 2009, proton-proton collisions will be produced at the Large Hadron Collider. The nominal beam energy and luminosity are respectively 7 TeV and 1034 cm−2s−1. The ATLAS detector is a general-purpose detector which will record data from these collisions. In this note, strategies for the measurements of the electronic and muonic decays of W and Z bosons are presented and prospects for the expected precision with 50 pb−1 of data are reported.
