25 W AND Z MASS MEASUREMENT W J = 1 AREVIEWGOESHERE CheckourWWWListofReviews W MASS The W -mass listed here corresponds to the mass parameter in a Breit- Wigner distribution with mass-dependent width. To obtain the world average, common systematic uncertainties between experiments are properly taken into account. The LEP-2 average W mass based on published results is ± GeV [CERN-PH-EP/ ]. The combined Tevatron data yields an average W mass of ± GeV [FERMILAB-TM E]. OUR FIT uses these average LEP and Tevatron mass values and combines them assuming no correlations.

LEP-SLC 06). The fit is performed using the Z mass and width, the Z hadronic pole cross section, the ratios of hadronic to leptonic partial widths, and the Z pole forward-backward lepton asymmetries. This set is believed to be most free of correlations. The Z-boson mass listed here corresponds to the mass parameter in a Breit-Wigner distribution with mass dependent width. The value is 34 MeV greater than the real part of the position of the pole (in the energysquared plane) in the Z-boson propagator. Also the LEP experiments have generally assumed a fixed value of the γ Z interferences term based on the standard model. Keeping this term as free parameter leads to a somewhat larger error on the fitted Z mass. See ACCIARRI 00Q and ABBIENDI 04G for a detailed investigation of both these issues.
