The production of pairs of bosons is an important process for investigating the electroweak sector of the Standard Model. We present measurements of the diphoton, Z+photon, W+photon and WW production cross sections. Constraints on the couplings are also presented.

Electroweak bosons are a "standard candle" process for physics at the
LHC. We present measurements of total inclusive W and Z production cross sections, as well as differential cross sections and the W charge asymmetry.

We present various measurements with W and Z bosons, based on 36 inverse-picobarns of pp collisions at √s = 7 TeV recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC in 2010. The results, obtained in the electron and muon channels, are compared to predictions at the NLO or NNLO in QCD using recent sets of parton densities. We first report on the inclusive W- and Z-boson production cross sections, measured...
