Understanding PDF uncertainty in W boson mass measurements

We study the dependence of the transverse mass distribution of charged leptons and the missing energy on parton distributions (PDFs) adapted to W boson mass measurements at the CDF and ATLAS…

Tripling down on the W boson mass

A new precision measurement of the W boson mass has been announced by the CDF collaboration, which strongly deviates from the Standard Model prediction. In this article, we study the implications of…

Testing the Scalar Triplet Solution to CDF's Fat $W$ Problem at the LHC

The Type II Seesaw model remains a popular and viable explanation of neutrino masses and mixing angles. By hypothesizing the existence of a scalar that is a triplet under the weak gauge interaction,…

A twisted tale of the transverse-mass tail

: We propose a tantalizing possibility that misinterpretation of the reconstructed missing momentum may have yielded the observed discrepancies among measurements of the W -mass in different collider…

CDF-II W boson mass in the Dirac Scotogenic model

The Dirac scotogenic model provides an elegant mechanism which explains small Dirac neutrino masses and neutrino mixing, with a single symmetry simultaneously protecting the “Diracness” of the…

Parton Density Uncertainties and the Determination of Electroweak Parameters at Hadron Colliders.

It is argued that the proton PDF uncertainty will not be a bottleneck for precision measurements, and a realistic quantitative estimate requires taking into account the details of the experimental systematics.

Parton density function uncertainties on the W boson mass measurement from the lepton transverse momentum distribution

We study the charged current Drell-Yan process and we evaluate the proton parton densities uncertainties on the lepton transverse momentum distribution and their impact on the determination of theW…

Uncertainties of predictions from parton distribution functions. I. The Lagrange multiplier method

We apply the Lagrange Multiplier method to study the uncertainties of physical predictions due to the uncertainties of parton distribution functions (PDFs), using the cross section for W production…

A study of the role of the PDF uncertainty on the LHC $W$-boson mass measurement

The determination of the $W$-boson mass through an analysis of the decay charged-lepton transverse momentum distribution has a sizable uncertainty due to the imperfect knowledge of the relevant…

Parton distributions from high-precision collider data

We present a new set of parton distributions, NNPDF3.1, which updates NNPDF3.0, the first global set of PDFs determined using a methodology validated by a closure test. The update is motivated by…

Status of the two-Higgs-doublet model in light of the CDF $m_W$ measurement

The most recent the W -boson mass measurement by the CDF Collaboration with a substantially reduced uncertainty indicated a large deviation from the standard model prediction, as large as 7 σ if…

Parton distributions in the LHC era: MMHT 2014 PDFs

These MMHT2014 PDFs supersede the ‘MSTW2008’ parton sets, but they are obtained within the same basic framework and include a variety of new data sets, from the LHC, updated Tevatron data and the HERA combined H1 and ZEUS data on the total and charm structure functions.

A leptoquark and vector-like quark extended model for the simultaneous explanation of the W boson mass and muon g-2 anomalies

The CDF collaboration has announced a new measurement result of the W boson mass recently, and it is in tension with the standard model (SM) prediction. In this paper, we will explain this anomaly…

The $W$ boson Mass and Muon $g-2$: Hadronic Uncertainties or New Physics?

There are now two single measurements of precision observables that have major anomalies in the Standard Model: the recent CDF measurement of the W mass shows a 7 σ deviation and the Muon g − 2…
