Abstract

The Large Hadron Collider at CERN will produce an unprecedented number of W and Z bosons, allowing precision tests of the electroweak theory. I will describe the physics program made possible by the LHC, focusing on new physics that might appear in the electroweak sector, particularly with respect to electroweak symmetry breaking and the connections between the search for the Higgs Boson and precision electroweak measurements.
