We report measurements of electroweak boson production in the forward region, using data collected at the LHCb experiment with a centre of mass energy of sqrt(s)=7 TeV with an integrated luminosity of up to 1.0 fb-1. W and Z bosons are reconstructed in leptonic decay channels, and their cross-sections determined using data-driven techniques. All results are compared to NNLO predictions.

We briefly review the global Standard Model fit to electroweak precision data.

The very rare Bd --> mu+mu- decay may be the last chance for New Physics in flavor sector at the LHC, before the 13 TeV run in late 2014. Partially motivated by the known tension in sin2beta/phi1, enhancement beyond (3--4) x 10^{-10} would likely imply the effect of a fourth generation of quarks. If observed at this level, the 126 GeV boson may not be the actual Higgs boson, while the b --> d...

We develop a new technique to correct for the incomplete lepton acceptance and derive a parton-level asymmetry.

Using OpenLoops in combination with Sherpa permits to prepare NLO simulations in a fully automated way. Matching and merging at NLO with the novel MEPS@NLO technique are also fully supported.
