| dc.description | From 1996 up to 2000 the LEP collider at CERN has operated at center of mass energies above the production threshold for W boson pairs of approximately 160 GeV. The obtained data are used to extract a preliminary W mass value of (80.450 +- 0.039) GeV by direct reconstruction. To a large extent the uncertainty is due to systematic effects especially in the fully hadronic decay channel W+W- --> qq' qq' that suffers most from ambiguities in modelling the hadronic final state. Methods to assess and reduce these uncertainties are the current main concern of the four LEP experiments. | |
