Description
The D0 experiment at the Tevatron collider provided in recent years one of the most accurate measurements of the W boson mass. The precise knowledge of the W boson mass, together with the mass of the Higgs Boson and the top quark, provides one of the most crucial tests of the Standard Model of particle physics.
The uncertainties of this measurement are dominated by the limited knowledge of the parton density functions, which will improve in future years. Therefore, a dedicated effort of the D0 collaboration aims at the preservation of the W boson mass analysis for a future reevaluation with improved proton descriptions and other improvements in the model of W boson production and decay. In this poster, we give an overview of this effort and discuss the underlying technical infrastructure. We also present a reevaluation of the W boson mass measurement based on $\int L dt = 4.3 fb^{-1}$ with an updated PDF-set as an example for future applications.
