W and Z boson Productions in CMS at LHC startup

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2009-04-03 v2

Abstract

We report on potential for measurement of W and Z boson production, as well as the production in association with jets. Of particular interest are jet multiplicity and PTP_{\rm T} distributions. The 10 to 100pb1100 {\rm pb}^{-1} datasets expected in the startup year of operation of LHC are likely to already provide information beyond the reach of the Tevatron collider both in jet multiplicity and PTP_{\rm T} range. We are especially interested in understanding the ratios of W+jets to Z+jets distributions by comparing them to next-to-leading order Monte Carlo generators, as these processes present a formidable background for searches of new physics phenomena.
