Abstract
The electroweak theory has been tested to high precision, with measurements probing its predictions at the loop level. The current generation of particle accelerators will produce enough W and Z bosons through hadron collisions to significantly improve the accuracy of these measurements. I review the issues related to such production, with particular emphasis on associated uncertainties on the W boson mass, which has now been measured more precisely at the Tevatron than at the Large Electron Positron collider.
