Measurement of the W+- boson cross section in the electron decay channel at [square root] s=7 TeV with the ATLAS detector

At the LHC, the process pp -+ W± X followed by the leptonic decays W- -+ e-v and W+ -+ e+lI is investigated to test the Standard Model in a completely new kinematic range. This thesis describes W± cross-section measurements using pp collisions recorded by the ATLAS detector in 2010. The charge depen...
