Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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}.

Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: The CDF and D0 Collaborations obtain new measurements of the W boson mass using data taken between 1994 and 1996. CDF updates the previous result obtained from W 2![mu][nu] decays, reducing many systematic uncertainties, and performs a new measurement using a high statistics sample of W 2!e[nu] events; combining these measurements with the previous ones yields MWCDF =80.433 ± 0.079 GeV/c 2. D0 also extends the previous result, based on central electron events, by including events with electrons landed in the forward calorimeters; the combined D0 result is MWD0 = 80.474 ± 0.093 GeV/c & sup 2;. The numbers obtained by the two experiments can be combined together with the older UA2 one (MWUA2 = 80.36 ± 0.37 GeV/c 2), by assuming a 25 MeV/c 2 common error, to yield a hadron collider average of MW =80.448 ± 0.062 GeV/c 2.
