Abstract

A study on muon pairs produced through an intermediate Z/γ ∗, in pp collisions at the LHC, at a center-of-mass energy of 7TeV, is presented. After a selection aimed at enhancing the contribution from Z boson decay, the topology of the events is analyzed, and the forward-backward asymmetry is measured. The result is then used to test a method to measure the effective weak mixing angle sin2 θeff W . This note summarizes the results obtained with 2011 data collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.8 fb−1.
