Thesis
A measurement of the W boson charge asymmetry with the ATLAS detector
- Abstract:
-
Uncertainties on the parton distribution functions (PDFs), in particular those of the valence quarks, can be constrained at LHC energies using the charge asymmetry in the production of W± bosons.
This thesis presents a measurement of the electron channel, lepton charge asymmetry using 497 pb-1 of data recorded with the ATLAS detector in 2011. The measurement is included in PDF fits using the machinery of HERAPDF and is found to have some constraining power beyo...
