The ${{\mathit W}}$-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 ${{\mathit W}}$ mass based on published results from ALEPH, DELPHI, L3, and OPAL is $80.376$ $\pm0.033$ GeV [SCHAEL 2013A]. The combined Tevatron data from CDF and D0 yields an average ${{\mathit W}}$ mass of $80.387$ $\pm16$ GeV [AALTONEN 2013N]. Assuming a common systematic error of 9 MeV due to PDF uncertainty, the combined LHC data from ATLAS [AABOUD 2018J] and LHCb [AAIJ 2022C] yields an average ${{\mathit W}}$ mass of $80.366$ $\pm0.017$ GeV [J. Erler and A. Freitas, " Electroweak Model and Constraints on New Physics" review, PDG 2022 ]. Assuming 7 MeV as the common systematic uncertainty between the LHC and Tevatron results, the average ${{\mathit W}}$ mass from the two hadron colliders is estimated to be $80.377$ $\pm0.013$ GeV. Combining this result with the LEP-2 value assuming no correlations, the world average ${{\mathit W}}$ mass of $80.377$ $\pm0.012$ GeV is obtained [Ibid].

PDG 2022 pre AALTONEN 2022 CDF quotes this value for the ${{\mathit W}}$ mass.

More information is given in M. Grunewald and A. Gurtu, "Mass and Width of the ${{\mathit W}}$ Boson" review [PDG 2022 ].

In April 2022 the CDF collaboration published a determination of the ${{\mathit W}}$ mass based on their full Run-2 dataset of 8.8 ${\mathrm {fb}}{}^{-1}$ [AALTONEN 2022 ], with much reduced uncertainty: $80433.5$ $\pm9.4$ MeV. This new CDF result, which includes the data of their previous result [AALTONEN 2012E] and thus supersedes it, is of higher precision than our world average quoted above. However, the two determinations disagree significantly.

The Tevatron-LHC ${{\mathit W}}$-boson mass combination working group, consisting of experts from the hadron collider experiments, ATLAS, CDF, CMS, D0, and LHCb, is examining in detail all aspects of the measurements, paying attention to corrections and correlated uncertainties in order to treat all results on an equal footing and properly account for correlations in various averages. The report from the combination group is awaited.

Analysing the distribution of the muon charge divided by the muon transverse momentum of approximately 2.4 million selected ${{\mathit W}}$ candidates, a value of ${{\mathit M}_{{{W}}}}$ = $80354$ $\pm23$(stat.)$\pm10$(exp.)$\pm17$(theo.)$\pm9$(PDF) MeV is obtained; we combine the three systematic uncertainties in quadrature. 2  AALTONEN 2022 select a data sample of about 4 million ${{\mathit W}}$ boson candidates in 8.8 fb${}^{-1}$ of Run-II data. The mass is determined using the transverse mass, transverse lepton momentum and transverse missing momentum distributions of ${{\mathit W}}$ decays into electrons or muons, accounting for correlations. This measurement supersedes AALTONEN 2012E, but it is not used in the evaluation of OUR FIT (PDG 2022 pre AALTONEN 22 CDF) value. 3  AABOUD 2018J select 4.61M ${{\mathit W}^{+}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \mu}^{+}}{{\mathit \nu}_{{{\mu}}}}$ , 3.40M ${{\mathit W}^{+}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit e}^{+}}{{\mathit \nu}_{{{e}}}}$ , 3.23M ${{\mathit W}^{-}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \mu}^{-}}{{\overline{\mathit \nu}}_{{{\mu}}}}$ and 2.49M ${{\mathit W}^{-}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit e}^{-}}{{\overline{\mathit \nu}}_{{{e}}}}$ events in 4.6 fb${}^{-1}$ ${{\mathit p}}{{\mathit p}}$ data at 7 TeV. The ${{\mathit W}}$ mass is determined using the transverse mass and transverse lepton momentum distributions, accounting for correlations. The systematic error includes 0.011 GeV experimental and 0.014 GeV modelling uncertainties. 4  AALTONEN 2012E select 470k ${{\mathit W}}$ ${{\mathit \nu}}$ decays and 625k ${{\mathit W}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \mu}}{{\mathit \nu}}$ decays in 2.2 fb${}^{-1}$ of Run-II data. The mass is determined using the transverse mass, transverse lepton momentum and transverse missing energy distributions, accounting for correlations. This result supersedes AALTONEN 2007F. AALTONEN 2014D gives more details on the procedures followed by the authors. This measurement is superseded by AALTONEN 2022 , but it is used in the evaluation of OUR FIT (PDG 2022 pre AALTONEN 22 CDF) value. 5  Combination of results from ABAZOV 2012F and ABAZOV 2009AB as quoted in ABAZOV 2012F. 6  ABDALLAH 2008A use direct reconstruction of the kinematics of ${{\mathit W}^{+}}$ ${{\mathit W}^{-}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit q}}{{\overline{\mathit q}}}{{\mathit \ell}}{{\mathit \nu}}$ and ${{\mathit W}^{+}}$ ${{\mathit W}^{-}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit q}}{{\overline{\mathit q}}}{{\mathit q}}{{\overline{\mathit q}}}$ events for energies 172 GeV and above. The ${{\mathit W}}$ mass was also extracted from the dependence of the ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit W}}$ cross section close to the production threshold and combined appropriately to obtain the final result. The systematic error includes $\pm0.025$ GeV due to final state interactions and $\pm0.009$ GeV due to LEP energy uncertainty. 7  ABBIENDI 2006 use direct reconstruction of the kinematics of ${{\mathit W}^{+}}$ ${{\mathit W}^{-}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit q}}{{\overline{\mathit q}}}{{\mathit \ell}}{{\mathit \nu}_{{{{{\mathit \ell}}}}}}$ and ${{\mathit W}^{+}}$ ${{\mathit W}^{-}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit q}}{{\overline{\mathit q}}}{{\mathit q}}{{\overline{\mathit q}}}$ events. The result quoted here is obtained combining this mass value with the results using ${{\mathit W}^{+}}$ ${{\mathit W}^{-}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \ell}}{{\mathit \nu}_{{{{{\mathit \ell}}}}}}{{\mathit \ell}^{\,'}}{{\mathit \nu}}_{{{\mathit \ell}^{\,'}}}$ events in the energy range $183 - 207$ GeV (ABBIENDI 2003C) and the dependence of the $WW$ production cross-section on ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit W}}}$ at threshold. The systematic error includes $\pm0.009$ GeV due to the uncertainty on the LEP beam energy. 8  ACHARD 2006 use direct reconstruction of the kinematics of ${{\mathit W}^{+}}$ ${{\mathit W}^{-}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit q}}{{\overline{\mathit q}}}{{\mathit \ell}}{{\mathit \nu}_{{{{{\mathit \ell}}}}}}$ and ${{\mathit W}^{+}}$ ${{\mathit W}^{-}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit q}}{{\overline{\mathit q}}}{{\mathit q}}{{\overline{\mathit q}}}$ events in the C.M. energy range $189 - 209$ GeV. The result quoted here is obtained combining this mass value with the results obtained from a direct ${{\mathit W}}$ mass reconstruction at 172 and 183 GeV and with those from the dependence of the ${{\mathit W}}{{\mathit W}}$ production cross-section on ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit W}}}$ at 161 and 172 GeV (ACCIARRI 1999 ). 9  SCHAEL 2006 use direct reconstruction of the kinematics of ${{\mathit W}^{+}}$ ${{\mathit W}^{-}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit q}}{{\overline{\mathit q}}}{{\mathit \ell}}{{\mathit \nu}_{{{{{\mathit \ell}}}}}}$ and ${{\mathit W}^{+}}$ ${{\mathit W}^{-}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit q}}{{\overline{\mathit q}}}{{\mathit q}}{{\overline{\mathit q}}}$ events in the C.M. energy range $183 - 209$ GeV. The result quoted here is obtained combining this mass value with those obtained from the dependence of the ${{\mathit W}}$ pair production cross-section on ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit W}}}$ at 161 and 172 GeV (BARATE 1997 and BARATE 1997S respectively). The systematic error includes $\pm0.009$ GeV due to possible effects of final state interactions in the ${{\mathit q}}{{\overline{\mathit q}}}{{\mathit q}}{{\overline{\mathit q}}}$ channel and $\pm0.009$ GeV due to the uncertainty on the LEP beam energy. 10  ABAZOV 2002D improve the measurement of the ${{\mathit W}}$-boson mass including ${{\mathit W}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit e}}{{\mathit \nu}_{{{e}}}}$ events in which the electron is close to a boundary of a central electromagnetic calorimeter module. Properly combining the results obtained by fitting $\mathit m_{\mathit T}({{\mathit W}}$), $\mathit p_{\mathit T}({{\mathit e}}$), and $\mathit p_{\mathit T}({{\mathit \nu}}$), this sample provides a mass value of $80.574$ $\pm0.405$ GeV. The value reported here is a combination of this measurement with all previous ${D0}{{\mathit W}}$-boson mass measurements. 11  AFFOLDER 2001E fit the transverse mass spectrum of 30115 ${{\mathit W}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit e}}{{\mathit \nu}_{{{e}}}}$ events ($\mathit M_{{{\mathit W}}}$= $80.473$ $\pm0.065$ $\pm0.092$ GeV) and of 14740 ${{\mathit W}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \mu}}{{\mathit \nu}_{{{\mu}}}}$ events ($\mathit M_{{{\mathit W}}}$= $80.465$ $\pm0.100$ $\pm0.103$ GeV) obtained in the run IB (1994-95). Combining the electron and muon results, accounting for correlated uncertainties, yields $\mathit M_{{{\mathit W}}}$= $80.470$ $\pm0.089$ GeV. They combine this value with their measurement of ABE 1995P reported in run IA (1992-93) to obtain the quoted value. 12  ANDREEV 2018A obtain this result in a combined electroweak and QCD analysis using all deep-inelastic ${{\mathit e}^{+}}{{\mathit p}}$ and ${{\mathit e}^{-}}{{\mathit p}}$ neutral current and charged current scattering cross sections published by the H1 Collaboration, including data with longitudinally polarized lepton beams. 13  ABAZOV 2012F select 1677k ${{\mathit W}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit e}}{{\mathit \nu}}$ decays in 4.3 fb${}^{-1}$ of Run-II data. The mass is determined using the transverse mass and transverse lepton momentum distributions, accounting for correlations. 14  ABAZOV 2009AB study the transverse mass, transverse electron momentum, and transverse missing energy in a sample of 0.5 million ${{\mathit W}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit e}}{{\mathit \nu}}$ decays selected in Run-II data. The quoted result combines all three methods, accounting for correlations. 15  AALTONEN 2007F obtain high purity ${{\mathit W}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit e}}{{\mathit \nu}_{{{e}}}}$ and ${{\mathit W}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \mu}}{{\mathit \nu}_{{{\mu}}}}$ candidate samples totaling 63,964 and 51,128 events respectively. The ${{\mathit W}}$ mass value quoted above is derived by simultaneously fitting the transverse mass and the lepton, and neutrino p$_{T}$ distributions. 16  AKTAS 2006 fit the Q${}^{2}$ dependence (300 $<$ Q${}^{2}$ $<$ 30,000 GeV${}^{2}$) of the charged-current differential cross section with a propagator mass. The first error is experimental and the second corresponds to uncertainties due to input parameters and model assumptions. 17  CHEKANOV 2002C fit the $\mathit Q{}^{2}$ dependence (200$<\mathit Q{}^{2}<$60000 GeV${}^{2}$) of the charged-current differential cross sections with a propagator mass fit. The last error is due to the uncertainty on the probability density functions. 18  BREITWEG 2000D fit the $\mathit Q{}^{2}$ dependence (200 $<$ Q${}^{2}<$ 22500 GeV${}^{2}$) of the charged-current differential cross sections with a propagator mass fit. The last error is due to the uncertainty on the probability density functions. 19  ALITTI 1992B result has two contributions to the systematic error ($\pm0.83$); one ($\pm0.81$) cancels in ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit W}}}/{\mathit m}_{{{\mathit Z}}}$ and one ($\pm0.17$) is noncancelling. These were added in quadrature. We choose the ALITTI 1992B value without using the LEP ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit Z}}}$ value, because we perform our own combined fit. 20  There are two contributions to the systematic error ($\pm0.84$): one ($\pm0.81$) which cancels in ${\mathit m}_{{{\mathit W}}}/{\mathit m}_{{{\mathit Z}}}$ and one ($\pm0.21$) which is non-cancelling. These were added in quadrature. 21  ABE 1989I systematic error dominated by the uncertainty in the absolute energy scale. 22  ALBAJAR 1989 result is from a total sample of 299 ${{\mathit W}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit e}}{{\mathit \nu}}$ events. 23  ALBAJAR 1989 result is from a total sample of 67 ${{\mathit W}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \mu}}{{\mathit \nu}}$ events. 24  ALBAJAR 1989 result is from ${{\mathit W}}$ $\rightarrow$ ${{\mathit \tau}}{{\mathit \nu}}$ events.
