Abstract

We present a measurement of the $W$ -boson mass, $M_{W}$ , using data corresponding to $2.2 {fb}^{- 1}$ of integrated luminosity collected in $p \bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 1.96 TeV$ with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. The selected sample of 470 126 $W \to e ν$ candidates and 624 708 $W \to μ ν$ candidates yields the measurement $M_{W} = 80387 \pm 12 (stat) \pm 15 (syst) = 80387 \pm 19 MeV / c^{2}$ . This is the most precise single measurement of the $W$ -boson mass to date.

Since the best-fit value of $g_{2}$ depends on the values of other parameters and PDFs used in the fitting model, we do not quote a measurement of $g_{2}$ . As a consistency check, we compare our best-fit value of $g_{CDF} = (0.649 \pm 0.01 3_{stat}) GeV$ with the global-fit value of $g_{2} = 0.68 \pm 0.01$ , and we find consistency considering that different PDFs yield an uncertainty on $g_{2}$ of $O (0.02)$ .
