The measurements of the corresponding inclusive and differential \u0000cross sections provide important tests of perturbative quantum chromodynamics and parton dis- \u0000tribution functions. Moreover, these processes constitute the main source of background for the \u0000searches for dark matter or other exotic final states, making the precise knowledge of W and Z \u0000boson kinematic spectra a fundamental tool to search for new physics. This paper reports a sum- \u0000mary of the latest measurements of single electroweak boson production carried out by the CMS \u0000experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. They are based on data collected at a center-of- \u0000mass energy of 8 or 13 TeV. The measurements are performed exploiting the decay of W and Z \u0000bosons into electrons or muons, which provide a clean experimental final state with a low level \u0000of background. Results are corrected to the stable-particle level through unfolding techniques \u0000and compared with theoretical predictions obtained using several generators, allowing to validate \u0000different models for the parton shower and hard scattering processes. The main features of the \u0000selected analyses are illustrated and their role in the consolidation and development of our current \u0000knowledge of the electroweak sector is highlighted. Finally, the prospects for new measurements \u0000using the full dataset collected by CMS at 13 TeV by the end of 2018 are briefly discussed as well.","PeriodicalId":346295,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Sixth Annual Conference on Large Hadron Collider Physics — PoS(LHCP2018)","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127556146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They are particularly interesting since the main contribution to these decays comes from QCD penguin topologies. Furthermore, electroweak penguin amplitudes give a contribution comparable to the tree topologies. In the past, a discrepancy was found in the correlation between the CP asymmetries of $B_d^0 to pi^0 K_{rm S}$. We give an up-to-date picture of this situation and consider new constraints, finding that the effect has become larger. An attractive explanation is offered by a modified electroweak penguin sector. We employ an isospin relation between the amplitudes of the $B to pi K$ decays to determine the relevant parameters, making only minimal use of the $SU(3)$ flavour symmetry. Another essential constraint is provided by the mixing-induced CP asymmetry of $B_d^0 to pi^0 K_{rm S}$. The application of our strategy at the next generation of $B$-physics experiments may establish New Physics and reveal new sources of CP violation in the electroweak penguin sector.","PeriodicalId":346295,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Sixth Annual Conference on Large Hadron Collider Physics — PoS(LHCP2018)","volume":"357 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124499860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
