We study the QCD sources of systematic uncertainties in the experimental extraction of the W cross section at hadron colliders. The uncertainties appear in the evaluation of the detector acceptances used to convert the number of observed events into a total production cross section. We consider the effect of NLO corrections, as well as of the inclusion of parton showers, and evaluate the impact of spin correlations and of PDF and scale uncertainties.
