Abstract

Recent measurements of electroweak phenomena from the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider are summarized. The standard model of particle physics was tested through highly precise determinations of its key electroweak parameters and through measurements of electroweak processes in proton-proton collisions at unprecedented center-of-mass energies of up to $13.6 \, \mathrm{TeV}$. The performance of the CMS experiment establishes its key role in the study of electroweak physics, with many measurements performed either for the first time or with the best precision at a proton-proton collider, in some cases reaching or even surpassing the precision of legacy results from lepton colliders. Recent electroweak results from the CMS experiment include: measurements of the W and Z bosons production cross sections; high-precision measurements of the forward-backward asymmetry in Drell-Yan production and of the effective leptonic electroweak mixing angle; measurements of tau lepton properties and of multiboson production and vector boson scattering rates.
