The data were collected using the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. This data set yields $1.68\\times 10^6$ $W\\rightarrow e\\nu$ candidate events. We measure the mass using the transverse mass, electron transverse momentum, and missing transverse energy distributions. The $M_W$ measurements using the transverse mass and the electron transverse momentum distributions are the most precise of these three and are combined to give $M_W$ = 80.367 $\\pm$ 0.013 (stat) $\\pm$ 0.022 (syst) GeV = 80.367 $\\pm$ 0.026 GeV. When combined with our earlier measurement on 1 fb$^{-1}$ of data, we obtain $M_W$ = 80.375 $\\pm$ 0.023 GeV.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-11-01T02:19:31.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "12.15.-y", "13.38.Be", "14.70.Fm" ], "keywords": [ "d0 detector", "boson mass", "measurement", "electron transverse momentum distributions", "transverse mass" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
