Review of the Properties of the W Boson at LEP, and the Precision Determination of its Mass
arXiv:hep-ph/0401146 · doi:10.1142/S0217751X03015180
Abstract
We review the precision measurement of the mass and couplings of the W Boson at LEP. The total and differential W+W- cross section is used to extract the WWZ and WWgamma couplings. We discuss the techniques used by the four LEP experiments to determine the W mass in different decay channels, and present the details of methods used to evaluate the sources of systematic uncertainty.
