First ATLAS measurement of W and Z boson production using Run-3 data 28 March 2024
For over four decades, the study of W± and Z bosons, discovered at CERN’s SPS collider, has been integral to particle physics research. As carriers of the weak force, these bosons play a crucial role in elucidating the electroweak sector of the Standard Model. Moreover, they offer a window into the possibility of new physics beyond the Standard Model, with deviations from theoretical predictions potentially indicating novel particles or interactions.
