Synopsis First Measurement of the W Boson Mass with CDF in Run 2 by : Oliver Stelzer-Chilton
This thesis describes a first measurement of the W Boson mass through the decay into a muon and a neutrino in Run 2 of the Tevatron. The W Bosons are produced in proton-antiproton collisions at a center of mass energy of 1.96 TeV. The data sample used for this analysis corresponds to 200 pb{sup -1} recorded by the upgraded Collider Detector at Fermilab. The most important quantity in this measurement is the momentum of the muon measured in a magnetic spectrometer which is calibrated using the two quarkonium resonances J/{Psi} and {Upsilon}(1S). Systematic uncertainties arise from the modeling of the recoil when the W Boson is produced, the momentum calibration, the modeling of W Boson production and decay dynamics and backgrounds. The result is: M{sub W} = 80408 {+-} 50(stat.) {+-} 57(syst.) MeV/c{sup 2}.

Synopsis First Run II Measurement of the W Boson Mass by :
We describe a measurement of the W boson mass m{sub W} using 200 pb−1 of √s = 1.96 TeV p{bar p} collision data taken with the CDF II detector. With a sample of 63,964 W → e[nu] candidates and 51,128 W → [mu][nu] candidates, we measure m{sub W} = [80.413 ± 0.034(stat.) ± 0.034 (sys.) = 80.413 ± 0.048] GeV/c2. This is the single most precise m{sub W} measurement to date. When combined with other measured electroweak parameters, this result further constrains the properties of new unobserved particles coupling to W and Z bosons.

Synopsis W Boson Mass Measurement at CDF. by :
This is the closeout report for the grant for experimental research at the energy frontier in high energy physics. The report describes the precise measurement of the W boson mass at the CDF experiment at Fermilab, with an uncertainty of ≈ 12 MeV, using the full dataset of ≈ 9 fb-1 collected by the experiment up to the shutdown of the Tevatron in 2011. In this analysis, the statistical and most of the experimental systematic uncertainties have been reduced by a factor of two compared to the previous measurement with 2.2 fb-1 of CDF data. This research has been the culmination of the PI's track record of producing world-leading measurements of the W boson mass from the Tevatron. The PI performed the first and only measurement to date of the W boson mass using high-rapidity leptons using the D0 endcap calorimeters in Run 1. He has led this measurement in Run 2 at CDF, publishing two world-leading measurements in 2007 and 2012 with total uncertainties of 48 MeV and 19 MeV respectively. The analysis of the final dataset is currently under internal review in CDF. Upon approval of the internal review, the result will be available for public release.

Synopsis Combination of CDF and D0 Results on the W Boson Mass and Width by :
The results on the direct measurements of the W-boson mass and width, based on the data collected by the Tevatron experiments CDF and D− at Fermilab are summarized and combined. The CDF Run-0 (1988-1889) and Run-I (1992-1995) results have been re-averaged using the BLUE method and combined with Run-I D− results and the latest published results from CDF taken from the first period of Run-II (2001-2004). The results are corrected to have consistency between the parton distribution functions and electroweak parameters. The resulting Tevatron averages for the mass and total decay width of the W boson are: M{sub W} = 80432 ± 39 MeV and [Lambda]{sub W} = 2056 ± 62 MeV. The inclusion of a preliminary Run-II measurement of [Lambda]{sub W} from D−0 gives [Lambda]{sub W} = 2050 ± 58 MeV.

Synopsis A Precision Measurement of the W Boson Mass at by :
I present the first measurement of the W boson mass in the electron decay channel using the Run II D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The data used was collected from 2002 to 2006 and the integrated luminosity is 1 fb−1. The W boson mass was determined from the likelihood fit to the measured data distribution. The mass value is found to be 80.401 ± 0.023(stat) ± 0.037(syst) GeV = 80.401 ± 0.044 GeV using the transverse mass spectrum, which is the most precise measurement from one single experiment to date. This result puts tighter constraints on the mass of the standard model Higgs boson. I also present three other measurements that can help to reduce the theoretical uncertainties for the future W mass measurements.

Synopsis W Boson Mass Measurement at the Tevatron by : Chris Hays
The W boson mass (m{sub w}) is a key parameter of the standard model (SM), constraining the mass of the unobserved Higgs boson. Using Tevatron p{bar p} collision data from 1992-1995, the CDF and D0 collaborations measured m{sub w} to {delta}m{sub w} = 59 MeV. The ongoing Tevatron Run 2 has produced a factor of 5 more collisions, promising a significant reduction in {delta}m{sub w}. CDF has analyzed the first {approx}200 pb{sup -1} of Run 2 data and determined its {delta}m{sub w} to be 76 MeV.

Synopsis Precise Measurement of the $W$-boson Mass with the CDF II Detector by :
We have measured the W-boson mass M{sub W} using data corresponding to 2.2 fb−1 of integrated luminosity collected in p{bar p} collisions at √s = 1.96 TeV with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. Samples consisting of 470 126 W → e? candidates and 624 708 W →?? candidates yield the measurement M{sub W} = 80 387 ± 12{sub stat} ± 15{sub syst} = 80 387 ± 19 MeV/c2. This is the most precise measurement of the W-boson mass to date and significantly exceeds the precision of all previous measurements combined.
