Abstract

This note describes the preparations towards searching for the production of a Z boson in association with a photon at the LHC with s = 10 TeV in the first 200 pb −1 of data. A sensitivity analysis investigating a search for anomalous couplings of the Z and photon is also presented. These studies are performed using both Pythia 6 and a modified event generator from U. Baur to produce signal samples. Background samples used are CMS production monte carlo.
