We discuss the prospects for measuring the W mass in Run II of the Tevatron and at the LHC. The basic techniques used to measure M_W are described and the statistical, theoretical and detector-related uncertainties are discussed in detail.

At present and future hadron colliders, the precision physics program started in the past will be continued. In particular, a precise determination of the W boson mass will be carried out. This requires the calculation of the radiative corrections an
d their implementation in Monte Carlo event generators for data analysis. In this talk, the status of the calculation of the order alpha electroweak radiative corrections is reviewed and a study of the impact of higher order QED corrections on the W boson mass is presented.
The impact of higher-order final-state photonic corrections on the precise determination of the W-boson mass at the Tevatron and LHC colliders is evaluated. The W-mass shift from a fit to the transverse mass distribution is found to be about 10 MeV i
n the W --> mu nu channel and a few MeV in the W --> e nu channel. The calculation, which is implemented in the Monte Carlo event generator HORACE for data analysis, can contribute to reduce the uncertainty associated to the W mass measurement at present and future hadron collider experiments.
I report on a calculation of the inclusive Higgs boson production cross section at hadron colliders at next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD. The result is computed as an expansion about the threshold region. By continuing the expansion to very high o
rder, we map the result onto basis functions and obtain the result in closed analytic form.
If the Higgs is produced with a large enough cross section in the {em exclusive} reaction $p + bar{p} to p + H + bar{p}$ it will give rise to a peak at $M_H$ in the {em missing mass} ($MM$) spectrum, calculated from the 4-momenta of the beam particle
s and the outgoing $p$ and $bar{p}$. The resolution in $MM$ can be approximately 250 MeV, independent of $M_H$ from 100 GeV to 200 GeV. This high resolution makes a search feasible over nearly this full mass range at the Tevatron with 15 fb$^{-1}$ as hoped for in Run II.
Majorana neutrinos in the seesaw model can have sizable mixings through which they can be produced at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and show a remarkable Lepton Number Violating (LNV) signature. In this article we study the LNV decay of the W boson
via two almost degenerate heavy on-shell Majorana neutrinos $N_j$, into three charged leptons and a light neutrino. We consider the scenario where the heavy neutrino masses are within $1$ GeV $leq M_N leq 10$ GeV. We evaluated the possibility to measure a LNV oscillation process in such a scenario, namely, the modulation of the quantity $d Gamma/d L$ for the process at the LHC where $W^{pm} to mu^{pm} N to mu^{pm} tau^{pm} W^{mp *}$ $ to mu^{pm} tau^{pm} e^{mp} u_e$. $L$ is the distance within the detector between the two vertices of the process. We found out some realistic conditions under which such a modulation could be probed at the LHC.
