Description

For the first five years of the LHC, it was demonstrated that experiments could measure a wide variety of electroweak phenomena, including the celebrated discovery of the Higgs boson. However, their precision was not yet sufficient to surpass the achievements of the LEP/SLD and Tevatron eras in other important ways. From 2015-2025, the accumulation of much larger data samples, new analysis techniques, and in-depth understanding of detectors have enabled the LHC experiments to provide competitive results, including the precision measurement of fundamental constants at the one-loop level and the observation of vector boson scattering and triple boson production in multiple channels.
