This review article summarizes results on the production cross section
measurements of electroweak boson pairs (WW, WZ, ZZ, Wγ and
Zγ) at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in pp collisions at a
center-of-mass energy of s​=7 \TeV. The two general-purpose detectors
at the LHC, ATLAS and CMS, recorded an integrated luminosity of 5fb−1 in
2011, which offered the possibility to study the properties of diboson
production to high precision. These measurements test predictions of the
Standard Model (SM) in a new energy regime and are crucial for the
understanding and the measurement of the SM Higgs boson and other new
particles. In this review, special emphasis is drawn on the combination of
results from both experiments and a common interpretation with respect to
state-of-the-art SM predictions.Comment: 60 page
