Description

One of the first measurements at the LHC will be th Z boson production cross section in proton proton collisions. The different decay channels of the Z boson will also used in the initial data taking period as benchmark process for the calibration of detectors and performance measurements. The overall cross section pp→Z→mu+mu- measurement with first data in ATLAS is discussed.
