Description
Precision measurements of W Boson production are of great interest in improving understanding of the proton structure, and as a precursor to measurements of the W mass. Measurements of differential and polarized W production cross sections will be discussed, including implications for improving knowledge of the proton PDF. Preliminary studies of experimental aspects of W mass measurements using Z events as a proxy
will also be discussed.
