On the Role of Diffractive Production in Precision Studies of W and Z Bosons at the LHC
The increasing precision of measurements at the Large Hadron Collider requires a detailed understanding of all contributions to electroweak boson production. We estimate the impact of single-diffractive W and Z production on precision observables at $\sqrt{s}=5$, 7, 8, and 13 TeV. The non-diffractive baseline is calcul...
