Results and prospects for precision electroweak measurements at the LHC
Daniel Froidevaux (CERN)

In this seminar, I will give an overview of recent progress in LHC precision electroweak physics, both in experimental measurements (effective weak mixing angle) and theory (higher-order EW corrections and improved resummation calculations of W/Z-boson transverse momentum). The results from the LHC on the measurements of the W-boson mass and of the effective weak mixing angle are already of a similar accuracy to that of the best measurements of these observables at LEP/Tevatron. With more than a factor of ten increase in statistics in the LHC run-2 at sqrts = 13 TeV for ATLAS and CMS, together with the contribution of LHCb which will provide competitive and complementary information, and with special data taken at very low luminosity to measure precisely the transverse momentum spectrum of the W boson, it is not surprising that there has been recently quite impressive progress on the theory side in many areas related to precision Drell-Yan measurements. I will show some of the prospects for the near future when the LHC measurements will hopefully appear more prominently in the global electroweak fit, provided uncertainties from parton distribution functions can be controlled in a more systematic way.
