Direct Measurement of the W Boson Decay Width in Proton-Antiproton Collisions at s**(1/2)=1.96 TeV

Creators

Description

This dissertation describes a direct measurement of the W boson total decay width, ΛW, using the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The measurement uses an integrated luminosity of 177.3 pb-1 data, collected during the 2002-2003 run. The width is determined from the shape of the transverse mass distribution, MT, by fitting the data in the tail region 100 < MT < 200 GeV. The result is ΛW = 2.011 ± 0.093(stat) ± 0.107(syst) GeV
