Theoretical Challenges for a Precision Measurement of the W Mass at Hadron Colliders

Abstract

We discuss the O(alpha) electroweak radiative corrections to W and Z boson production and their impact on the measurement of the W mass at hadron colliders. The results of recent improved calculations are presented. We also briefly discuss the O(alpha) corrections to Drell-Yan production in the high invariant mass region.
