Z production cross section at LHC

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The expected cross section for Z boson production at the LHC with proton-proton collisions at 14 TeV can be found in several references provided during the discussion. Key documents include a diagram on page 27 of the presentation from the lepton-photon 2005 symposium, accessible at this link, and another reference on page 29 of a different presentation available here. Additionally, the paper available at this arXiv link provides relevant numerical simulations including cross section times the leptonic branching ratio.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of particle physics terminology, specifically related to the Z boson.
  • Familiarity with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and its operational parameters.
  • Knowledge of cross section calculations in high-energy physics.
  • Basic comprehension of branching ratios in particle decay processes.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the methodology for calculating cross sections in proton-proton collisions at the LHC.
  • Study the implications of leptonic branching ratios on Z boson decay processes.
  • Explore the latest findings from the lepton-photon symposium and its impact on particle physics.
  • Investigate the use of numerical simulations in predicting particle production rates at high-energy colliders.
USEFUL FOR

Particle physicists, researchers in high-energy physics, and students studying collider experiments will benefit from this discussion, particularly those focusing on Z boson production and related simulations at the LHC.

Does anybody know where to get the expected cross section for Z at the LHC (pp at 14 TeV)? (it would be great if you could provide a reference).

There's a diagram on page 27:

Which is also used here at page 29:

This is all from last weeks lepton-photon 2005 symposium.

Hope this helps.

This paper:
http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ph?9907231
might be of use.
It appears to give the cross section times the leptonic branching ratio for a numerical simulation.
It might help.
