First measurement of the W boson mass in run II of the Tevatron

Creators

Description

We present a measurement of the W boson mass using 200 pb-1 of data collected in p(bar p) collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV by the CDF II detector at Run II of the Fermilab Tevatron. With a sample of 63964 W → ev candidates and 51128 W W → μv candidates, we measure MW = (80413 ± 34stat ±34syst = 80413 ± 48) MeV/c2. This is the most precise single measurement of the W boson mass to date
