Review of the first W boson mass measurement with the ATLAS Detector

The W boson mass ($m_{W}$) is a fundamental parameter of the Standard Model (SM) and was measured by several experiments at high energy $e^{+}e^{-}$ and $p\bar{p}$ colliders. This parameter's measurement has high impact on indirect searches for new particles or interactions, by comparing the me...

Sumario:The W boson mass ($m_{W}$) is a fundamental parameter of the Standard Model (SM) and was measured by several experiments at high energy $e^{+}e^{-}$ and $p\bar{p}$ colliders. This parameter's measurement has high impact on indirect searches for new particles or interactions, by comparing the measurement of this parameter with the prediction from the SM. Its current value, which combines several independent measurements, is 80385 $\pm$ 15 MeV. It was measured recently by the ATLAS experiment at LHC, using data recorded in 2011, with a centre of mass energy of 7 TeV. This measurement provides the following value for $m_{W}$ : 80370 $\pm$ 19 MeV. This talk is a review of this measurement for the CIPANP 2018 conference.
