Studies of electroweak boson production in the forward region with LHCb
arXiv:1101.4897
Abstract
Studies of electroweak boson production at LHCb are detailed and discussed. Proposed signal selection schemes and background suppression strategies are described and the projected performance is estimated using Monte Carlo data. Due to the unique pseudorapidity coverage and triggering capabilities of LHCb, these studies will probe an unexplored region of x, Q^2 space.
