SUMMARY:Measurement of W and Z-Boson Production Cross Sections in pp Collis
	ions at sqrt(s) = 13 TeV with the ATLAS Detector
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Efe Yigitbasi\n\nPart of the Preliminary Oral Exam.\n
	\nExamining Committee: John Butler\, Tulika Bose\, Shyamsunder Erramilli\, 
	and Ken Lane\n\nAbstract:\n\n\nThe measurement of weak vector boson product
	ion cross section at hadron colliders provides an early look into possible 
	new physics signatures as well as a test of our understanding of QCD and EW
	 processes at a new energy scale. The relatively large cross section and ea
	sily identifiable decays to leptonic final states offer a clean experimenta
	l signature which can be measured to high precision even with a relatively 
	small amount of data. In addition theoretical predictions are well known an
	d available at NNLO accuracy in QCD and NLO accuracy in radiative EW proces
	ses. In this talk I'll present the measurements of the W->lν and Z->ll pro
	duction cross sections in proton-proton collisions at sqrt(s) = 13 TeV usin
	g data recorded by the ATLAS experiment at Large Hadron Collider\, correspo
	nding to a total integrated luminosity of 81pb^(-1).\n\n![Efe](/resources/e
