$W$ and $Z$ Production in the Forward Region with LHCb

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2012-10-24 v1

Abstract

Results for WW and ZZ boson production from pppp collisions at s=7\sqrt{s} = 7 TeV in the LHCb experiment are presented. Due to LHCb's unique forward acceptance in pseudorapidity of 2.0η4.52.0 \leq \eta \leq 4.5 these results are a test of the Standard Model in the forward region, and can be used to better constrain parton density functions in the low xx kinematic regime.
