Description

Precise measurements of W and Z production, differential in p_T and rapidity, are shown. These provide stringent tests of QCD and of lepton universality and are used to extract information on the strange quark content of the proton. In addition, the polarisations of W bosons and of tau leptons produced in W decays are measured.
