Abstract

An overview of W and Z production in high energy hadron collisions is given. W and Z cross section and asymmetry measurements from CDF and DO are described, with particular emphasis on recent results. The current status of precision W mass and width measurements is reported. The fundamental physics parameters that can be extracted from these measurements are described, and the relevance of W and Z production studies for the LHC is pointed out.
