description The ATLAS experiment at the LHC has vast potential for electroweak measurements and the 14 TeV center-of-mass energy will in addition allow new regimes of electroweak phenomena to be explored. The extreme brightness (luminosity) of the LHC beam crossings will allow significant improvements in the measurement of the mass of the top quark and the W boson. A significant improvement in the determination of the coupling in three vector boson vertices will be possible. Measurements of the forward- backward asymmetry in Z -> ee decays will provide competitive measurements of the Weinberg angle. Tests of dynamical symmetry breaking will be made from studies of vector boson scattering at high energies which are feasible thanks to the forward jet tagging capabilities of ATLAS. Electroweak single-top production will allow a new direct measurement of V_tb and of the top polarization. This talk will highlight recent electroweak studies performed by ATLAS.
