Tau leptons play a significant role in the search for new physics phenomena at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Hence decays of Standard Model gauge bosons to tau leptons W->tau nu and Z->tau tau, are important background processes in such searches and their production cross-sections need to be well measured. At the same time, studies of those final states at the LHC center-of-mass energies are interesting in their own right, complementing the measurements of the production of the those boson through the electron and muon decay modes. Finally, measuring the cross-section of a well-known Standard Model process involving tau leptons is highly important for the commissioning and validation of tau identification techniques, which will be crucial for fully exploiting the ATLAS experiment's potential in searches for new physics involving tau leptons.
