Description
The measurement of the inclusive cross section for W+gamma production is presented based on 36 pb-1 of data acquired with the CMS detector from 7 TeV LHC collisions in 2010. Comparisons are made with the predictions of the standard model. The W bosons are identified through their leptonic decays to electrons and muons. The W+gamma cross section is sensitive to anomalous triple-gauge couplings and hence this measurement probes physics beyond the standard model.
