Description

I will review the traditional approach for the determination of the W boson mass at hadron colliders from the kinematical distributions of the charged-current Drell-Yan process. I will then present a new observable which allows this determination, with the possibility of a simple discussion and estimate of the associated QCD uncertainties.
