Abstract:
The W boson mass is measured using 13 TeV proton-proton collision data
corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 16.8 inverse fb recorded
during 2016 by the CMS experiment. The W boson mass is obtained from a
fit of the two-dimensional pT - η distribution in a sample of
W → μν decays, categorized by charge, yielding one of the most
precise measurements of the W mass to date.
