 Title: A measurement of the mass of the W vector boson from antiproton proton going to charged W boson going to muon muon neutrino at 1.8 TeV Author(s): Keup, Randy Michael Doctoral Committee Chair(s): Liss, Tony M. Department / Program: Physics Discipline: Physics Degree Granting Institution: University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Degree: Ph.D. Genre: Dissertation Subject(s): Physics, Elementary Particles and High Energy Abstract: This thesis presents a measurement of the mass of the W boson using data collected during the 1992-93 collider run at the Fermilab Tevatron with the CDF detector. A fit to the transverse mass spectrum of a sample of 3268 $\rm W\to\mu\nu$ events from 19.7 $\rm pb\sp{-1}$ of data yields a mass of $M\sbsp{W}{\mu} = 80.310 \pm 0.205$ (stat.) $\pm$ 0.120 (syst.) $\pm$ 0.050 (scale). This result is compared to previous measurements and current predictions.
