Studie zur Sensitivität des CMS Experimentes auf schwere, geladene Vektorbosonen mit Elektronen im Endzustand

This thesis is a monte-carlo study of the discovery and exclusion potential of a hypo- thetical, charged and heavy vector boson W′ with the CMS detector. The investigated backgrounds are W → e + ν, W → τ + ν, W+W, t + t, QCD and Z → e + e at a center of mass energy of √ 7 TeV. A set of selection criteria is applied to seperate signal from background events. It contains the HEEP-selection and dedicated kinematic criteria. The sensitivity ist determined with the CLs-method. In addition, the impact of systematic uncertainties on the sensitivity is investigated.
