A measurement of the mass of the W vector boson from antiproton proton going to charged W boson going to muon muon neutrino at 1.8 TeV
Abstract
dc:descriptionThis thesis presents a measurement of the mass of the W boson using data collected during the 1992-93 collider run at the Fermilab Tevatron with the CDF detector. A fit to the transverse mass spectrum of a sample of 3268 \rm W\toμ\nu events from 19.7 $\rm pb\sp{-1}$ of data yields a mass of M\sbsp{W}{μ} = 80.310 \pm 0.205 (stat.) $\pm$ 0.120 (syst.) $\pm$ 0.050 (scale). This result is compared to previous measurements and current predictions.
