Title: Precision electroweak physics at the LHC
Abstract: The large amount of high quality data collected at the LHC will bring the experimental error of several observables at the per mille level, also in the TeV mass range. The combination of this information, together with the precision studies of W and Z bosons properties, will allow a very severe test of the Standard Model. I will illustrate recent theoretical results for the Drell-Yan distributions, with the associated theoretical challenges, relevant for the determination of the W boson mass, of the weak mixing angle and about the study of the large mass tails.
About Particle Physics Theory seminars
The Particle Physics Theory seminar is a weekly series of talks reflecting the diverse interests of the group. Topics include analytic and numerical calculations based on the Standard Model of elementary particle physics, theories exploring new physics, as well as more formal developments in gauge theories and gravity..
