Description

The target precision for $W$-mass measurements at the LHC is around 0.1 permille, an extremely ambitious goal that requires exceptional theoretical control on vector boson production. I will present the results of a recent calculation of the mixed QCD $\times$ EW corrections to $W$ and $Z$ boson production. I will then discuss the impact of these corrections on the measurement of the $W$ boson mass at the LHC using the transverse momentum of the charged leptons arising from the decay of the $W$ boson.
