Effect of flavor-dependent partonic transverse momentum on the determination of the W boson mass in hadronic collisions
Within the framework of transverse-momentum-dependent factorization, we investigate for the first time the impact of a flavor-dependent intrinsic transverse momentum of quarks on the production of W± bosons in proton–proton collisions at s=7TeV. We estimate the shift in the extracted value of the W...
