Review of top, W\&Z and other precision measurements from ATLAS and CMS

COFFEE_KLATCH · Invited

Abstract

The first run of proton-proton collisions at the LHC was completed in December 2012. During this three-year campaign, the ATLAS and CMS experiments collected large datasets at center of mass energies of 7 and 8 TeV. This unprecedented amount of data has been analyzed by ATLAS and CMS to search for new phenomena, culminating with the discovery of the new Higgs-like particle in the Summer 2012, and also to measure parameters of the Standard Model with remarkable accuracy. Many of these measurements are already limited by the systematic uncertainties. Others exploit the huge datasets to study properties of Standard Model processes which are tested for the first time. In this presentation I will review part of this successful physics program at ATLAS and CMS with a particular focus on precision measurements of top quark, W and Z boson properties.
