% SECTION 3:  SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION
% ----------------------------------------------------------------
%   The following information constitutes your printed abstract,
%   subject to APS formatting rules.  If you are not able to view the 
%   abstract with a LaTeX viewer, make certain that the title, author 
%   list, abstract body and footnotes do not total more than 1300 
%   characters, including spaces.

% DO NOT change the following line (APS USE ONLY).
\begin{document}

% ----------------------------------------------------------------
% 3A: Title
%        Insert  title of your abstract between {} below.
%        Use Mixed Case and do not underline.
%
%        NOTE: Please do NOT add any  superscripts to
%        the names (asterisks, numbers, daggers). 
%        Do NOT use "mbox" or ~ commands to control spacing.

\Title{Minimizing the Uncertainty due to Parton Distributions and
     the Production Mechanism in the Precision Determination of the W  Mass}


% ----------------------------------------------------------------
% 3B: Title footonotes: 
%           For any notes tied to the title, delete the beginning % and
%           insert the information  between the {} in the line below:
%\titlenote{}

% ----------------------------------------------------------------
% 3C: Authors and their affiliations 
%
%       First Author -- Insert presenting author/affiliation
%       information between the {} on the three lines below.
%

%       please list Collaboration or Team as the AuthorSurname, and 
%       the acronym as AuthorGivenName (i.e., CDF)

\AuthorSurname{Rijssenbeek}
\AuthorGivenName{Michael}
\thanks{for the D\O\ Collaboration}
\AuthorAffil{State University of New York at Stony Brook, Stony Brook, NY}


% ----------------------------------------------------------------
% 3C-1:  Thanks (Optional Command)
%
%       For any notes or acknowledgements tied to an author,
%       delete the beginning % and insert the information 
%       between the {} in the line below:  
% \thanks{}

%       Additional authors -- For additional authors insert a 
%        set of three commands for each additional author:
%                \AuthorSurname{}
%                \AuthorGivenName{}
%                \AuthorAffil{}

%       If authors are grouped by institution, the AuthorAffil 
%       does not have to used each time; list after the last author 
%       in the group.  When adding lines, make sure the \ is in 
%       column 1 and that only one command is used per line
% ---------------------------------------------------------------------

% DO NOT change the following line (APS USE ONLY).
\begin{abstract}
% ----------------------------------------------------------------
%  3D:  Abstract:
%          Insert  abstract text lines after these comments.
%          Abstract text lines should NOT begin with the % character.

The precision measurement of the $W$ mass is subject to many
systematic uncertainties. Many of these are themselves derived from
data, and will decrease with statistics. However, the parton
distribution functions and QCD parameters in the simulation model used
for the likelihood fit of the $W$ transverse mass are not of this
type, and are likely to become the dominant systematic uncertainty in
the near future. We present a novel analysis using $Z$ and $W$ data
that limits these sources of uncertainty for the $W$ mass
dramatically. The method is exemplified with the precision measurement
of the $W$ mass using the D\O\ detector at the Fermilab Tevatron $\rm
p\overline{p}$ Collider.

% 3E: Optional Commands that can be used in the body of the abstract.
%
% 3E-1: Footnotes
%      Use the command \footnote{} to create footnotes
%      \footnote{} is entered in the body of the abstract at
%      the point where the superscript will appear. The text of the note 
%      goes between the {}; the system generates the footnote number.

% ----------------------------------------------------------------
% 3E-2: Hypertext Linking to other support files (figures, etc.)
%
%      Authors may designate text from the body of the abstract to be 
%      used as a "link" to remote resources on the World Wide Web.
%      In using the command shown below,
%
%      \urllink{}{}
%
%      place the text to be shown as a "clickable link" in the first
%      set of curly braces; then put the associated URL in the
%      second set.  The command may go anywhere in the abstract.
%      Note -- only the text in the first curly braces will show on the 
%      the screen and in the printed version.
