Abstract

An excellent performance of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN allowed us to collect about 5 fb-1 of proton-proton collision data at a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV in each ATLAS and CMS experiments in the last year. With the high-statistics pp collision data, we start probing new physics that could appear in processes with small production cross sections like a pair production of electroweak gauge bosons. I will discuss the recent progress on the Standard Model diboson production measurements with an emphasis on the search for new physics signature in diboson final states including narrow and broad resonances at the TeV-scale.
