Structure Functions and Parton Densities
Precision measurements of the Drell-Yan production of W and Z/gamma* bosons at the LHC provide a benchmark of our understanding of perturbative QCD and probe the proton structure in a unique way.
The ATLAS collaboration has performed high precision measurements at center-of-mass energies of 7TeV and 8TeV, integrated and as a function of the rapidity and the Z/gamma* mass. New measurements at...

Structure Functions and Parton Densities
Precision measurements of the Drell-Yan production of W and Z bosons at the LHC provide a benchmark of our understanding of perturbative QCD and electroweak processes and probe the proton structure in a unique way.
The ATLAS collaboration has performed these measurements at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. Ratios of W and Z cross sections and of the W boson charges significantly reduce...

Electroweak Physics and Beyond the Standard Model
Using inclusive DIS cross sections measured with the H1 experiment at HERA, electroweak parameters of the Standard Model are probed. The cross sections were determined using longitudinally polarized lepton beams, which enhances the sensitivity to the vector couplings of the light quarks. The quark couplings and the electroweak mixing angle are probed through the γ/Z interference. This gives...

Structure Functions and Parton Densities
A simultaneous fit of parton distribution functions (PDFs) and electroweak
parameters to HERA data on deep inelastic scattering is presented. The input
data are the neutral current and charged current inclusive cross sections
which were previously used in the QCD analysis leading to the HERAPDF2.0
PDFs. In addition, the polarisation of the electron beam was taken into
account for the ZEUS...

Structure Functions and Parton Densities
LHCb's unique forward acceptance allow for measurements of EW and hard QCD processes at large rapidity. In this talk the latest LHCb results on W, Z and top production are presented.
