Weak Interactions and Neutrinos / W mass measurements at LHCb

A significant displacement both from the electroweak fit predictions and previous experimental results has been observed in the recent measurement of the W boson mass at CDF. This confirms the importance of measuring this fundamental parameter of the Standard Model. The LHCb experiment has a fundamental role in this topic. The LHCb experiment covers the forward region of proton-proton collisions, and it can improve the current electroweak landscape by studying the production of W and Z boson in this phase space complementary to ATLAS and CMS. In this talk the experimental aspects of the LHCb W mass measurement are presented.
