description The W boson mass is an important parameter of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. The experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) focus, amongst other goals, on checking the consistency of the SM; for this, the W boson mass is a vital parameter. This thesis presents a feasibility study of two methods for measuring the W boson mass with the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector; the simulation of proton-proton collisions was performed using grid computing tools.
