About the modern "experimental value" of W boson width.

It is shown that the methods which have been used up to now to determine the $W$ width from the $p\bar p$ data confirm the SM predictions for some combinations of various phenomenological parameters, however, they do not give an independent value for the $W$ width. Moreover, the accuracy that could be achieved in future experimental checks of SM predictions for such quantities is limited by effects which require detailed theoretical study.
