Review of Physics Results from the Tevatron: Electroweak Physics

Ashutosh V. Kotwal, Heidi Schellman, Jadranka Sekaric

Published 2014-09-17Version 1

We summarize an extensive Tevatron (1984-2011) electroweak physics program that involves a variety of W and Z boson precision measurements. The relevance of these studies using single and associated gauge boson production to our understanding of the electroweak sector, quantum chromodynamics and searches for new physics is emphasized. We discuss the importance of the W boson mass measurement, the W/Z boson distributions and asymmetries, and diboson studies. We highlight the recent Tevatron measurements and prospects for the final Tevatron measurements.

Comments: Article submitted to the International Journal of Modern Physics A (IJMPA) as one of the seven chapters of the special issue on the "Review of Physics at the Tevatron", editor G. Bernardi. This article contains the chapter on the Electroweak physics part of the review
