Alessandro Vicini - Precision electroweak physics at the LHC

Wednesday 26 Feb 2025, 14:30 → 16:30 Europe/Rome

Aula B (Dipartimento di Matematica e Fisica)

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 results about the determination of the W boson mass, of the weak mixing angle and about the study of the large mass tails of the Drell-Yan distributions, with the associated theoretical challenges.
