Prospects for the Precision Measurement of the W Mass with the CMS Detector at the LHC

The precise measurement of the mass of the W boson constitutes an important consistency check of the Standard Model and is sensitive to supersymmetric corrections. Together with the top quark mass, the W mass discriminates between the Standard Model and supersymmetric extensions. In this note, metho...

description The precise measurement of the mass of the W boson constitutes an important consistency check of the Standard Model and is sensitive to supersymmetric corrections. Together with the top quark mass, the W mass discriminates between the Standard Model and supersymmetric extensions. In this note, methods are presented which employ the large number of Z bosons produced at the LHC to significantly reduce theoretical and experimental uncertainties on the W mass measurement. A precision of about 40 MeV (20 MeV) with the first 1 fb^-1 (10 fb^-1) of integrated luminosity during the low luminosity run of the LHC is expected.
