Scientific paper

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.
