To accommodate next-to-leading (NLO) effects, constant $k$-factors are applied. |

Additionally, the cross section calculator {\sl MCFM}~\cite{Campbell:2005} |

specified otherwise. The leptonic final state $\ell^+ \ell^- \ell^\pm \nu$ also receives a |
| 20 |
|
contribution from the $W\gamma^*$ production, where the $\gamma^*$ stands for a |
| 21 |
|
virtual photon through the $WW\gamma$ vertex. In this analysis, we |

restrict this contribution by requiring the $\ell^\ell^-$ invariant mass to be |

restrict this contribution by requiring the $\ell^+\ell^-$ invariant mass to be |

consistent with the nominal $\Z$ boson mass. As CMS detector has a very |

good energy resolution for electrons and muons, the mass window |
| 25 |

is set to be $\pm$ 10 GeV around 91 GeV. |

Using {\sl MCFM} we estimate the total NLO $\WZ$ cross-section to be |

The LO and NLO distribution of \Z transverse momentum are shown of |

figure~\ref{fig:LOvsNLO} for the case of $W^+$ on the left and $W^-$ |
| 37 |

on the right side. The ratio NLO/LO is also presented on the figure |
| 38 |
< |
and it is increasing as $P_T(Z)$ increased. In the following analysis |
| 39 |
< |
we consider a constant $k-factor$ of 1.84 as we concentrate on the |
| 40 |

first data taking. On the other side, if in the future one wants to |
| 41 |
< |
use such distribution to study the effect of possible anomalous triple |
| 42 |

gauge couplings, it will be necessary to take the $p_T$ dependence of |
| 46 |
< |
this $k-factor$ into account. |

The LO and NLO distributions of the \Z boson transverse momentum are |

shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:LOvsNLO} with the case of $W^+$ on the left and $W^-$ |
| 37 |

on the right side. The NLO/LO ratio, $k$-factor, is also presented on the figure, |
| 38 |

and it is increasing with $p_T(\Z)$. The $p_T$ dependence of the $k$-factor |
| 39 |

becomes important when a proper NLO description of the $\Z$ boson transverse |
| 40 |

momentum must be obtained, $e.g$ to measure the strength of the $WWZ$ coupling. |
| 41 |

As the focus of this analysis is to prepare for the cross-section measurement, |
| 42 |

we take a $p_{T}$-averaged value of the $k$-factor, equal to 1.84. |

The main background that we have to consider are all final states |
| 72 |
|
having at least two isolated leptons from the same flavor and with |
| 73 |
|
opposite charge. The third one can be a real isolated lepton or a misidentified |
| 76 |
|
leptons. Moreover we will apply a cut on the invariant mass of the two |
| 77 |
|
isolated leptons so most of the background that we have to study are:\\ |
| 78 |
|
\begin{itemize} |
| 79 |
< |
\item $W+jets$: $W$ boson will give us one isolated leptons. The probability that 2 additional jets will be misidentified as isolated lepton is very low and the criteria on the lepton invariant mass will definitely reduce such background. This channel is nevertheless useful to study other background for which data sample are not available such as $Wb\bar{b}$. The sample studied for this analysis, has been produced using ALPGEN generator per jet bin. |

\item $Z + jets$: $Z$ boson is common between signal and background. The third isolated lepton can come from a misidentified lepton. The cross section of production of this channel is around 35 time greater than the signal.The sample studied for this analysis, has been produced using ALPGEN generator per jet bin. |
| 81 |
|
\item $t\bar{t}$: top quark will decay to \W$b$ pair where each $W$ can decay via an isolated leptons. This leptons will have opposite charged. Even though combining the two leptons, we will not obtain a peak around the \Z mass, the cross section of this process is around 15 time the cross section of the signal. The sample studied for this analysis, has been produced using ALPGEN generator per jet bin. The third lepton will come from a semi leptonic decay of a $b$ quark which will be isolated. |
| 82 |
|
\item $Z + b\bar{b}$: the presence of $Z$ boson will select such events. Moreover due to the semi leptonic decay of a $b$ quark, a third lepton can be easily identified and consider as isolated. The sample used has been produced by COMPHEP generator. |
| 83 |
< |
%\item $ZZ$: the inclusive cross section production is smaller than the signal studied but due to branching fraction and if we consider $Z\rightarrow b\bar{b}$ decay, some events can pass the analysis selection. This process has been produced using PYTHIA generator. |
