The landscape of W± and Z bosons produced in pp collisions up to LHC energies

Abstract

We will consider a selection of recent experimental results on electroweak W±,Z gauge boson production in pp collisions at BNL RHIC and CERN LHC energies. We will study various aspects of these data and they will be compared to the predictions of perturbative QCD calculations, based on different sets of parton distribution functions. We will also propose some new tests for future data taking.
