The ATLAS and CMS experiments at the LHC have vast potential for electroweak measurements and the 14 TeV center-of-mass energy will in addition allow new regimes of electroweak phenomena to be explored. The extreme brightness (luminosity) of the LHC beam crossings will allow substantial improvements in the measurement of the mass of the top quark and the W boson. A significant improvement in the determination of the coupling in three vector boson vertices will be possible; it will also be possible to make a rough measurement of the Higgs boson couplings once the Higgs is observed. Measurements of the forward-backward asymmetry in Z → ee decays will provide competitive measurements of the Weinberg angle.
Tests of dynamical symmetry breaking will be made from studies of vector boson scattering at high energies; these tests are feasible thanks to the forward jet tagging capabilities of ATLAS and CMS. Electroweak single-top production will allow a new direct measurement of Vtb and of the top polarisation.
