Prospect for precision measurements of MW+ -MW- & MW at the LHC: Shortcuts revisited

Florent Fayette, Mieczyslaw Witold Krasny, Wieslaw Placzek +1

The claim that the W boson mass might be measured at the LHC with a precision of O(10 MeV) is critically reviewed. It is argued that such a precision cannot be achieved, unless a d…
