$W/Z$ properties and $V+$jets at the Tevatron

Conference · · EPJ Web Conf.
We present a summary of recent measurements of $$W$$ and $$Z$$ properties and $W/Z$ production in association with jets in $$p\bar{p}$$ collisions at $$\sqrt{s}=1.96$$ TeV with the CDF and D\O\ detectors. Latest measurements of $$Z/\gamma^*$$ transverse momentum and are presented along with new measurements of the angular distributions of final state electrons from Drell Yan events as a way to probe $$Z$$ boson production mechanisms. The mass dependence of the forward-backward asymmetry in $$p\bar{p} \rightarrow Z/\gamma^{*} \rightarrow e^+e^-$$ interactions is measured, the effective weak mixing angle extracted, and the most precise direct measurement of the vector and axial-vector couplings of $$u$$ and $$d$$ quarks to the $$Z$$ boson presented. New measurements of jets produced in association with $$Z$$ and $$W$$ bosons for inclusive, beauty and charm jets are also discussed.
