Prospects for Electroweak Measurements at the LHC
نویسنده
چکیده
The prospects for electroweak measurements at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) are discussed. In addition to highluminosity results, special emphasis is placed on early start-up measurements with a total luminosity ranging from 10/pb to 100/pb, using the general-purpose detectors ATLAS and CMS and their initially larger calibration and alignment uncertainties. Topics discussed here include inclusive W and Z production, W-boson mass, Z forwardbackward asymmetry, Z-plus-jets production and di-boson production, the latter constraining trilinear electroweak gauge couplings.

Prospects for Precise Electroweak Physics at the LHC
In addition to its discovery potential, the LHC offers unique possibilities for precise measurements in the electroweak sector. In the present note, results of several electroweak analyses are presented; measurements of the top quark and W boson masses, triple gauge couplings as well as forward-backward asymmetry measurements. All electroweak measurements at the LHC benefit from large cross sec...

متن کاملElectroweak Precision Data and Gravitino Dark Matter
Electroweak precision measurements can provide indirect information about the possible scale of supersymmetry already at the present level of accuracy. We review present day sensitivities of precision data in mSUGRA-type models with the gravitino as the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP). Theχ fit is based onMW , sin 2 θeff , (g−2)μ, BR(b → sγ) and the lightest MSSM Higgs boson mass, Mh. We...
متن کاملImpact of a CP-violating Higgs sector: from LHC to baryogenesis.
We observe a generic connection between LHC Higgs data and electroweak baryogenesis: the particle that contributes to the CP-odd hgg or hγγ vertex would provide the CP-violating source during a first-order phase transition. It is illustrated in the two Higgs doublet model that a common complex phase controls the lightest Higgs properties at the LHC, electric dipole moments, and the CP-violating...
