Electroweak Physics [W/Z]
The $W$ boson mass extracted by the NuTeV collaboration from the ratios of neutral and charged-current neutrino and anti-neutrino cross sections differs from direct measurements performed at LEP2 and the Fermilab Tevatron by about $3 \sigma$. Several possible sources for the observed difference have been discussed in the literature, including new physics beyond the Standard Model (SM)....

Electroweak Physics [W/Z]
Simultaneously with the turning-on of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) the data taking for jet production rates will start. The study of these production rates is one of the important tests of the Standard Model in the new energy regime available at the LHC. In order to discriminate possible extensions of the Standard Model accurate theoretical predictions are needed. In this talk I will...

Electroweak Physics [W/Z]
We present a measurement of the forward-backward charge asymmetry (AFB)
for di-electron produced via an intermediate Z/gamma*$
boson using about 3.6 fb-1 of data. These data were collected by
the D0 detector in ppbar collisions at sqrt{s}=1.96 TeV. We also
present a measurement of the effective weak mixing angle using the
measured AFB distribution.
