Recent Results on W and Z Physics at the LHC and Tevatron
COFFEE_KLATCH · Invited
Abstract
At the hadron colliders such as the LHC or Tevatron, production of W and Z bosons and their associated production with jets and other vector bosons offer a unique window to conduct stringent tests of theoretical predictions based on the standard model (SM) and enable indirect searches for beyond-the-SM (BSM) physics. With large samples of W and Z events collected at the LHC and Tevatron experiments, many of these processes have been studied at an unprecedented precision. These measurements provide valuable inputs to fundamental parameters in the SM, improve understanding of the proton structure functions, test various theoretical predictions up to next-to-next-leading order, and constrain BSM physics. In this talk, latest results from the LHC and Tevatron experiments are reviewed.
