What is not in this talk Results from previous years – except for context Top quark mass and single top production
Mousumi Datta The CKM matrix
Dave Hitlin and Tom Browder The MNS matrix
Bonnie Flemming The Higgs
Mark Kruse Weak boson production (QCD)
Don Lincoln These are arguably all electroweak measurements.

What’s left Precision measurements
of electroweak couplings and mass The W mass Measurements of the
weak mixing angle. Very rare electroweak
processes. Diboson production
And the future…
Predictions of GSW theory
A neutral Z0 boson
W, Z0 and g couplings and masses have tightly constrained relations: MW/MZ = cos qw e = g sin qw
Symmetry breaking would like a Higgs Field
There should be at least one physical scalar Higgs boson left over to observe

Z’s at hadron colliders
LEP recorded 17M Z events eeff of Which 1.7M were to Leptons (including tau’s)
Tevatron now has reconstructed ~ 0.2-0.6M events x 2 channels (ee+mm) x 2 expts (D0/CDF)~ up to 1.6 M Zll already depending on cuts.Close to LEP statistics! LHC experiments expected to have much higher cross
sections with ~2 M Z ll in the first fb-1 !
35,626 events qq ee

Signatures uu + dd Z ll
Tevatron is mainly valence-valence scattering.
LHC is mainly valence-sea scattering and must choose boosted Z’s to tell valence from sea. PDF’s will be a
dominant uncertainty.

AFB measurements
Future measurements from the Tevatron and the LHC are expected to reach 0.0005 or better accuracy. The limiting factor is probably PDF’s.

W mass from CDF - 2007

New W mass measurement 1 fb-1 of data taken 2002-2006 ~ 18,725 Z and 499,830 W candidates in the
electron channel only. Use data to determine corrections wherever
possible Blind analysis – central mass value hidden until
everything has been reviewed. Because Zee is the main calibration, this is
effectively a MW/MZ measurement – many physics effects cancel.
NOT very correlated with the CDF measurement!

What to do for an encore? Highlights this year are
Use of much larger data samples the difficult channels with Z vv and W/Z
jj. Improved limits on anomalous couplings

D0 limits on anomalous couplingsfrom Wg, WW, WZ
Can be interpreted as measurements of the magnetic dipole and quadrupole moments.
39
Prospects for the future D0 and CDF can anticipate 3-10
times more data per channel Combining channels and
experiments will increase the TGC sensitivity by a factor of 3-5.
LHC experiments have 10 times the cross section 10 fb-1 of data factor of 100 in statistics and 10 in sensitivity relative to current Tevatron.
200 fully reconstructed ZZ events in first 10 fb-1 !!

Electroweak summary Major progress Precision EWK
W mass precision on track for 25 MeV/expt at Tevatron – maybe 10 MeV at LHC!
We are at the beginning of a new generation of measurements of sin2qW at colliders and fixed target
DiBosons All diboson channels seen even in hadronic final states LHC will have enough statistics to do precision
measurements of couplings and event kinematics very soon!
