Abstract
The Electroweak (EW) Theory is one of the most important and well-known pillars of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. Possible signs of New Physics could appear in the EW sector, therefore requiring the SM to be extended. EW physics can be probed at the LHCb experiment, which is a general purpose forward detector that offers unique opportunities to do studies in the forward region. Its excellent vertex and track reconstruction system allows to perform several measurements of perturbative QCD physics in a region unexplored by other experiments. In this paper the latest EW physics analyses performed at LHCb studying pp collisions during Run 1 and Run 2 are presented.
