A measurement of the mass of the W vector boson at CDF
- 1. Illinois Univ., Urbana, IL (United States). Dept. of Physics
Description
We present a preliminary measurement of the mass of the W vector boson using the decays W → ev and W → μv. The mass of the W is an important parameter of the standard model. Through its relation to both the top quark and the higgs sector, it provides a sensitive probe of the electroweak theory. During the last run of Fermilab's Tevatron, CDF recorded bar pp collisions at √s = 1.8 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.3 pb-1. An analysis of both decay channels yields a combined mass measurement of Mw = 80.38 ± 0.23 GeV/c
