【 摘 要 】

The measurements of the mass of the W boson (MW ) and of the top quark (Mt ) are important for three reasons: (i) these masses represent fundamental parameters of the Standard Model; (ii) they determine the coupling between the top quark and the Higgs boson, the coupling being proportional to M2 t =M2 W; and (iii) radiative corrections relate the masses of the W, top quark and the Higgs boson: an accurate measurement of MW and Mt would provide a constraint on the Higgs mass (MH ).
