Measurement of the W boson mass. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • We present a measurement of the mass of the W boson using data collected with the Collider Detector at Fermilab during the 1992-93 collider run at the Fermilab Tevatron. A fit to the transverse mass spectrum of a sample of 3268 W events recorded in an integrated luminosity of 19.7 pb-1 gives a mass MW=80.3100.205(stat)0.130(syst) GeV/c2. A fit to 5718 We events recorded in 18.2 pb-1 gives MWe=80.4900.145(stat) 0.175syst GeV/c2. Combining these results, accounting for correlated uncertainties, yields MW=80.4100.180 GeV/c2. 1995 The American Physical Society.
