Abstract: (IOP)
The precise measurement of the mass of theWboson constitutes an important consistency check of the Standard Model and, together with the top quark mass, is sensitive to supersymmetric corrections. In this note, methods are presented which employ the large number ofZbosons produced at the LHC to significantly reduce theoretical and experimental uncertainties on theWmass measurement. A precision of about 40 MeV (20 MeV) with the first 1 fb−1(10 fb−1) of integrated luminosity during the low luminosity run of the LHC is expected.- p p: interaction
