The Z boson decay in two muons channel in the CMS experiment at LHC: from cross-section measurement with the 2010 7 TeV collision dataset to offline machine luminosity monitor

Abstract

During the phd program I had the opportunity to take part actively to the CMS experiments at CERN: many aspects of the chain to take and analyze the data have been studied. Indeed, in the first year of the phd program a tool to store and retrieve the CMS condition data in the CMS databases has been developed. A web monitor tool has been also deployed to trace and check the correctness of the transactions. Instead, in the second and third year of the phd program the decay of the $Z$ boson in two muons has been analyzed.
