Hah, my Bachelor thesis from 2009 explored a measurement channel for the W and Z bosons a bit (qq->WZ->llνl, so two quarks become a W and a Z which then decay into in total 3 charged leptons and a neutrino, "Di-Boson Events with Leptonic Final States"), sadly with simulated data as the restart after the issues from 2008 was delayed. The simplest way to measure the W and Z masses was to "pattern match" potential events in the data (which were already heavily preprocessed with "pseudo particles" derived from the tracks in the inner detector, myon detection and calorimeters), in my case Z->µµ or Z->ee, try ones best to filter out parallel channels (e.g. Z->t tbar) and then derive information from the histograms of the "transverse mass", which is essentially the effective mass with the momentum component longitudinal to the beam deducted (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverse_mass https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverse_mass).
