Updated Combination of CDF and D0 Results for the Mass of the W Boson

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/3019643· OSTI ID:3019643
We summarize and combine the results on the direct measurements of the mass of the W boson in data collected by the Tevatron experiments CDF and D0 at Fermilab. Results from CDF Run-0 (1988-1889) and Run-I (1992-1995) have been combined with D0 results from Run-I, the CDF 200 pb-1 published results from the first period of Run-II (2001-2004) and the recent 1 fb-1 result in the electron channel from D0 (2002-2006). The results are corrected for any inconsistencies in parton distribution functions and assumptions about electroweak parameters used in the different analyses. The resulting Tevatron average for the mass of the W boson is MW = 80,420+31 MeV.
