Measurement of the Cross-Section for W Boson Production in Association with b-Jets in Proton-Proton Collisions at \(\sqrt s = 7\) TeV at the LHC using the ATLAS detector

This dissertation presents a measurement of the W+b-jets \((pp → W + b(\bar{b}) + X)\) production cross-section in proton–proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV at the LHC. The results are based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of \(4.6 fb^{−1}\), collected with the A...
