Abstract
- The measurement of the transverse momentum of W bosons in hadron collisions provides not only an important test of quantum chromodynamic (QCD) calculations, but also is a crucial input for the precision measurement of the W boson mass. While the measurement of the Z boson transverse momentum is experimentally well under control, the available unfolding techniques for the W boson final states lead generically to relatively large uncertainties. In this paper, we present a new methodology to estimate the W boson transverse momentum spectrum, significantly improving the systematic uncertainties of current approaches. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
