% We determine the signal significance as a function of |

% integrated luminosity at the LHC based on Standard Model |
| 54 |
|
% cross sections computed at the next to leading order in $\alpha_s$. |

% We expect $\sim 97 $ signal $\W\Z \to \ell^{\pm} \ellell (\ell=e,\mu)$ events for $\sim 22$ background |
| 56 |
< |
% events per inverse femtobarn. The background is found |
| 57 |
< |
% to be dominated by the $\Zbbbar$, $\t\tbar$ and \ZZ processes with three true electrons or muons in the |
| 58 |
< |
% final state. The sensitivity of the analysis allows for a potential 5-sigma discovery |
| 59 |
< |
% of the $\proton\proton \to\W\Z$ channel with about 150 inverse picobarn. |
