Impact of LHC search results on the W mass prediction in supersymmetric models — •Lisa Zeune and Georg Weiglein — DESY, Hamburg, Germany

Electroweak precision observables, such as the W boson mass, are highly sensitive to quantum corrections of New Physics. Thus they provide a powerful tool to test and constrain extensions of the Standard Model. To fully exploit the experimental accuracies, provided by current and future collider experiments, precise theory predictions are necessary. We present results for M_W in the MSSM and the NMSSM, including the known higher order corrections, and discuss the implications of LHC searches on the M_W prediction in minimal and non-minimal SUSY models.
