W Mass results from Tevatron and LHC

Abstract

Most recent results of W boson mass measurements from Tevatron experiments (CDF and D0) in pp collisions at s=1.96 GeV are reported, using 0.2 fb-1 and 1.0 fb-1 data collected at CDF and D0, respectively. The measurements of W boson properties at LHC experiments (ATLAS, CMS, and LHCb) in pp collisions at s=7 TeV, using data collected before Summer 2011, are presented. These measurements are essential at the preparation stage of the W boson mass measurements at LHC. Challenges for W mass measurement at the LHC in comparison with the Tevatron are outlined. Prospects for W mass precision with upcoming measurements and its implications are discussed.
