The last couple of years are very fascinating for LHC and the ATLAS experiment. With the data collected more than 5fb-1, the ATLAS is in a very exciting phase to firm or crackdown the Standard Model by analyzing the various physics topics. My talk will cover the production and the measurements of W and Z vector bosons properties which are extremely important to understand before making any discovery. The Luminosity plays a very crucial role in many of the cross-section measurements at ATLAS, so precise determination of luminosity is very important. In ATLAS, the absolute calibration of luminosity is provided by performing the van der Meer scan. I will discuss the method and the detectors e.g. Luminosity detector (LUCID). In addition I will also show briefly the latest about the searches for low mass higgs.
