Improving W Boson Mass Templates for Run II at CDF

With center of mass energy of 1.96 TeV the Tevatron collider at
Fermilab is currently the highest energy collider in the world. Over the
course of Run II the CDF detector is expected to measure the W boson mass
with a precision of approximately 40 MeV. This presents new challenges in
the Monte Carlo generation of W boson mass templates. Currently there is
no full calculation that incorporates both QCD and electroweak corrections
to the W mass, however, there are separate calculations that deal with
these quantities. This talk presents the results of a numerical method of
merging these calculations. The implications on the Run II W mass
measurement will be discussed.
