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 Wμν events recorded in an integrated luminosity of 19.7pb1 gives a mass MWμ=80.310±0.205(stat)±0.130(syst)GeV/c2. A fit to 5718 Weν events recorded in 18.2 pb1 gives MWe=80.490±0.145(stat)±0.175systGeV/c2. Combining these results, accounting for correlated uncertainties, yields MW=80.410±0.180GeV/c2.
