Electroweak physics at LHCb

Abstract

Measurements of electroweak boson production provide an important test of the Standard Model at the LHC energies and allow the partonic content of the proton to be constrained. $W$ and $Z$ bosons are reconstructed in several leptonic final states using data samples corresponding to an integrated luminosity of up to about 1 $f{b}^{-1}$. Inclusive and associated production cross-sections are reported.
