WZ production at the LHC: Polarization observables in the Standard Model

WZ production is an important process at the LHC because it probes the non-Abelian structureof electroweak interactions and it is a background process for many new physics searches. In the quest for new physics, polarization observables of the W and Z bosons can play an important role. They can be extracted from measurements and can be calculated using the Standard Model. In this contribution, we define fiducial polarization observables of the W and Z bosons and discuss the effects of next-to-leading order electroweak and QCD corrections in the Standard Model.
