W Mass Theory Workshop

Fermilab, 6 November 2003

ICB2E Conference Room, 11 AM - 6 PM

Goals of the Workshop

This workshop is organized in anticipation of Run 2 W mass measurements. The purpose of the workshop is to focus on theoretical inputs to the W mass measurement at the Tevatron: QED and Electroweak radiative corrections, parton distribution functions, Boson Pt spectrum, boson rapidity distribution, and so on. Members of the experimental and the theory/phemomenology communities will be attending. We plan to start discussions for improving on the Run 1 technology used for these inputs. Please contact Ashutosh Kotwal (kotwal@fnal.gov) and Joey Huston (huston@fnal.gov) for more information.
