Measurement of the W Boson Mass with the D0 Run II Detector using the Electron P(T) Spectrum
- Northwestern Univ., Evanston, IL (United States)
This thesis is a description of the measurement of the W boson mass using the D0 Run II detector with 770 pb-1 of p$$\bar{p}$$ collision data. These collisions were produced by the Tevatron at √s = 1.96 TeV between 2002 and 2006. We use a sample of W → ev and Z → ee decays to determine the W boson mass with the transverse momentum distribution of the electron and the transverse mass distribution of the boson. We measure MW = 80340 ± 37 (stat.) ± 26 (sys. theo.) ± 51 (sys. exp.) MeV = 80340 ± 68 MeV with the transverse momentum distribution of the electron and MW = 80361 ± 28 (stat.) ± 17 (sys. theo.) ± 51 (sys. exp.) MeV = 80361 ± 61 MeV with the transverse mass distribution.
