On the determination of $M_W$ and TGCs in W-pair production using the best measured kinematical variables

A study is made of the feasibility of maximum likelihood fits to determine M_W and triple gauge boson couplings using only those experimental kinematical variables that are well measured. A computational tool to calculate theoretical probabilities for those kinematical variables is discussed and the...

description A study is made of the feasibility of maximum likelihood fits to determine M_W and triple gauge boson couplings using only those experimental kinematical variables that are well measured. A computational tool to calculate theoretical probabilities for those kinematical variables is discussed and then applied to samples of unweighted events produced by an event generator. Detailed results on the M_W determination for semileptonic final states in W-pair production show the feasibility of the method. For TGCs one result is presented as an illustration.
