Description

This talk will attempt to summarise the main issues related to achieving a 10-15 MeV precision on a W mass measurement at hadron colliders today. These cover crucial experimental aspects (muon momentum scale, hadronic recoil, pile-up) and also physics modelling issues, mostly related to the theoretical knowledge of pTW/pTZ in a region where resummation, heavy flavour, and non-perturbative contributions matter more than fixed-order perturbative calculations.
