QCD inputs to W Mass Measurement

ORAL

Abstract

We present a study of the sensitivity of W boson mass measurement to various QCD input parameters. In high statistics measurements at the Tevatron these parameters will be a significant source of the uncertainty. In particular, we have investigated how the concurrent measurements of the Z boson transverse momentum distribution and the W boson charge asymmetry during Run II of the Tevatron can help to constrain these inputs.
