(contribution withdrawn)Measurement of the inclusive electron cross section in the ATLAS experiment — •Michael Flowerdew and Hubert Kroha — Max-Planck-Institut für Physik, München, Deutschland
The measurement of the inclusive electron spectrum in a hadron collider is sensitive to the rate of production of heavy flavour quarks. The rate of prompt electron production has been measured using proton-proton collisions in the ATLAS detector at a centre of mass energy √s = 7 TeV. The measurement uses 1.0 pb−1 of data, and spans the range 7 < pTe < 26 GeV. In this talk, these results are presented and compared to current NLO and FONLL theoretical predictions.
