Early Electroweak and Top Quark Physics with CMS
arXiv:0706.2940
Abstract
The Large Hadron Collider is an ideal place for precision measurements of the properties of the electroweak gauge bosons W^\pm, Z^0, as well as of the top quark. In this article, a few highlights of the prospects for performing such measurements with the CMS detector are summarized, with an emphasis on the first few 1/fb of data.
