The W mass allows for a precise cross check of the Standard Model (SM), and its uncertainty is the limiting factor for sensitivity to the SM Higgs mass and what may lie beyond. A precise W mass measurement is feasible at the LHC due to large number of events, not only for W decays, but also corresponding Z decays, which will be the key ingredients for precision calibration and understanding of systematic...
