We present the results of
W-boson mass measurements with the ATLAS detector at the LHC based on the 2011 data set recorded at a centre-of-mass energy of
√s=7 TeV, and corresponding to
4.6 fb−1 of integrated luminosity. The selected data sample consists of
7.8×106 W→μν candidates and
5.9×106 W→eν candidates. Measurements are performed through template fits to transverse momentum distributions of charged leptons as well as to transverse mass distributions of the
W boson in electron and muon decay modes in various kinematic categories. All the individual measurements are found to be consistent and their combination leads to a value of
mW=80370±7 MeV(stat.)±11 MeV(exp.sys.)±14 MeV(mod.sys.)=80370±19 MeV.
The measured value of the
W-boson mass is compatible with the current world average of
mW=80385±15 MeV. The uncertainty is competitive with the current most precise measurements performed by the CDF and D0 collaborations.
