Precision measurements of W and Z boson production and their decays to electrons at hadron colliders
- ETH Zurich (Switzerland)
For many measurements at hadron colliders, such as cross sections and branching ratios, the uncertainty of the integrated luminosity is an important contribution to the error of the final result. In 1997, the ETH Zurich group proposed a new approach to determine the integrated luminosity via a counting measurement of the W and Z bosons through their decays to leptons. In this thesis this proposal has been applied on real data as well as on simulation for a future experiment.
