Abstract

The Run II physics program of CDF is proceeding with approximately 200 pb-1 of analysis quality data collected at the center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV. The Electroweak measurements are among the first and most important benchmarks towards the best understanding of the detector and testing of the Standard Model. We present precision measurements of the W and Z inclusive cross sections and decay asymmetries, recent results in di-boson physics and their sensitivity to new physics, and preliminary studies for the W mass measurement.
