Description

We present a theoretical overview of the present status and prospects for electroweak measurements at LHC, leading to precision tests of the standard model. The state of the art of Monte Carlo event generators is illustrated and special attention is paid to the interplay between QED and QCD, the measurement of the W mass and the effective weak mixing angle.
