Studying the Electroweak Sector with the ATLAS Detector

The large integrated luminosities that are available at the LHC, allow to test the gauge structure of the electroweak sector of the Standard Model to highest precision. In this talk, we review the latest results of the ATLAS collaboration involving di-boson and multiboson final states as well as the corresponding limits on anomalous gauge couplings. Moreover, we discuss the electroweak production of vector boson at 13 TeV. Another approach to test the consistency of the electroweak sector is via precision measurements. ATLAS has recently published a measurement of the tau-polarization in Z events as well as a three dimensional cross-section measurement of the Drell-Yan process. The latter allows for the extraction of the forward-backward asymmetry that can be interpreted as a measurement of the weak mixing angle. Both results will be presented and discussed.
