We study the effects of vector-like leptons on the $W$ boson mass in a model with a vector-like $U(1)^\prime$ gauge symmetry. This model provides simultaneous explanations for the recent anomalies in the muon anomalous magnetic moment and…
The CDF experiment reported a lepton photon missing transverse energy (E_T) signal 3 sigma in excess of the Standard Model prediction in Tevatron Run I data. The excess can be explained by the resonant production of a smuon, which…
The CDF, ATLAS and LHCb have released the measurements on the W boson mass $m_W$ at $\sqrt{S}=1.96, 7, 13 TeV$, respectively. The measured values show the declining tendency, namely $m_W$ decreases with the increment of the collider energy.…
We reconsider the recent observation by the D0 experiment of a sizable like-sign dimuon charge asymmetry, highlighting that it could be affected by CP-violating New Physics contributions not only in Bd- and Bs-meson mixings, but also in…
We present a measurement of the electron charge asymmetry in ppbar->W+X->enu+X events at a center of mass energy of 1.96 TeV using 0.75 fb-1 of data collected with the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The asymmetry is measured…
We present a new measurement of the $W$ mass using the $W\to e\nu$ data from the D\O forward detectors at the Fermilab Tevatron $p \bar p$ Collider. This is the first measurement of the $W$ mass with electron candidates in the range $1.5 <…

We report new direct measurements of the $Z^0$-lepton coupling asymmetry parameters $A_e$, $A_{\mu}$ and $A_{\tau}$, with polarized $Z^0$'s collected by the SLD detector at the SLAC Linear Collider. The parameters are extracted from the…
We consider an explanation of CDF II W bosom mass anomaly by $Z-Z'$ mixing with $U(1)_R$ gauge symmetry under which right-handed fermions are charged. It is found that $U(1)_R$ is preferred to be leptophobic to accommodate the anomaly while…
We present a measurement of the coefficient alpha_2 of the leptonic polar-angle distribution from W boson decays, as a function of the W transverse momentum. The measurement uses an 80+/-4 pb^{-1} sample of proton-antiproton collisions at…

The precision measurement of the W boson mass allows to perform stringent consistency tests of the Standard Model by means of global electroweak fits. The accurate determination of the W boson mass is one of the legacy results of the…
This letter reports a measurement of the muon charge asymmetry from $W$ bosons produced in proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV with the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The asymmetry is measured in the $W \rightarrow…
We propose a direct measurement of the CKM element $V_{td}$ at the LHC. Taking profit of the imbalance between $d$ and $\bar d$ quark content in the proton, we show that a non-zero $V_{td}$ induces a charge asymmetry in the $tW$ associated…
We propose an analysis technique to directly measure W production charge asymmetry from W leptonic decay events at the Tevatron and show the feasibility for new analysis method using Monte Carlo simulations.
