Electroweak Precision Physics at the LHC - M_W and sin_theta^(l, eff) Examples

Explore the intricacies of electroweak precision physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in this 36-minute lecture by Mauro Chiesa at the Galileo Galilei Institute. Delve into the specific examples of M_W (W boson mass) and sin_theta^(l, eff) (effective weak mixing angle) to gain a deeper understanding of their significance in particle physics research. Learn about the latest experimental techniques, theoretical predictions, and challenges in measuring these fundamental parameters with high precision at the LHC. Discover how these measurements contribute to testing the Standard Model and searching for potential new physics beyond it.
