Measurement of M(W) using the transverse mass ratio of W and Z

Conference · · eConf
OSTI ID:431656
We report on the measurement of W boson mass from a determination of the ratio of the transverse masses of {ital W} and {ital Z} using the DO detector at the Fermilab Tevatron {ital p{anti p}} Collider operating at {radical}{ital s} = 1.8 TeV. The analysis is a preliminary result based on a partial data sample of 13 pb{sup -1} using W {r_arrow} {ital e{sup -}{mu}{sup +}} and Z {r_arrow} {ital e{sup -}e{sup +}} decays. The mass ratio can also be extracted by comparing the shapes of the electron E{sub T} and & distribution from W and Z decays.
