摘要
One of the first publications by the ATLAS collaboration using data from the Large Hadron Collider at CERN dealt with the measurement of the production cross section of the W boson. The collaboration rediscovered the W in order to, among other things, check whether the detector and analysis methods were working well. Originally, the discovery of the W had been announced in 1983 by the CERN management, referring mainly to work done by its UA1 collaboration. In both the discovery and the rediscovery, the convergence of two distinct sets of criteria of data selection was an important concern of the researchers. In 1983, this concern figured prominently in the published paper whereas in 2010 it was mainly dealt with inside the collaboration.
