Measurement of the W Boson Mass
Ashutosh Kotwal (Duke University)
Seminar Room 3, 15:00
The measurement of the W boson mass provides a stringent test of the
Standard Model, and constrains the mass of the Higgs boson via
electroweak radiative corrections. We describe the measurement
of the W boson mass at the Tevatron with emphasis on the CDF
measurement. We will discuss the implications of this measurement
for the Standard Model Higgs boson. The combined precision of the
W mass measurements from CDF and D0 is now equivalent to the
combined LEP precision. Prospects for further improvement from
the Tevatron are discussed.
