Updated Study of a Precision Measurement of the W Mass from a Threshold   Scan Using Polarized $\rm{e}^-$ and $\rm{e}^+$ at ILC
  An updated study of measuring the W mass from a polarized threshold scan at ILC is presented with an emphasis on evaluating scan strategies that control experimental systematics. Highly longitudinally polarized beams of electrons and positrons such as are feasible at ILC offer significant advantages in terms of statistical power and in-situ control of background. Eventual experimental precision of around 2 MeV can be envisaged from this technique. Further work on both the accelerator design and theoretical uncertainties will likely be needed to take full advantage of this opportunity.
