Description
Isolating the polarization modes of weak bosons provides an important
probe for the Standard Model (SM). Furthermore, it represents a source
of discriminating power between the SM and new physics models.
The Run 2 dataset and the foreseen luminosities of the next LHC runs
will enable polarization measurements in multi-boson processes.
Therefore a more complete theoretical understanding of the polarization
structure is needed for such processes. After recalling the main issues
that arise when separating polarizations at the amplitude level, I will
present some recent developments in the Monte Carlo description of
polarized bosons (up to NLO accuracy), and a number of phenomenological
results in boson-pair production at the LHC.
