Abstract:
The recent publication of the new W boson mass measurement of the CDF collaboration shows a 7 sigma discrepancy to the Standard Model prediction. In this talk, I will revise the indirect determination of the W boson mass with the global electroweak fit and discuss the measurement principle at hadron colliders. Special emphasis will be drawn to the most precise measurement of the ATLAS collaboration as well as potential approaches to improve the precision even further. In addition, possible additional studies in context of the new CDF measurements will be proposed.
