Description

We report on the status of the precision measurements of electroweak parameters with W and Z bosons at the LHC. The effective electroweak mixing angle sin^{2}_{\theta} is extracted by measuring the forward-backward asymmetry in di-lepton events near the Z boson mass region. Measurements of differential W and Z boson production cross-sections and their ratios are also reported. These measurements can be used to further constrain the existing parton distribution functions.
