$W$ Boson Mass Measurement with D0 Data
ORAL
Abstract
We present a measurement of the $W$ boson mass using D0 Run II data collected from proton and anti-proton collisions produced by the Tevatron at 1.96 TeV center of mass energy. We select $W\to e\nu$ events and use a template method to extract the $W$ boson mass from the distributions of the electron transverse momentum, missing transverse energy as a proxy for the transverse momentum of the neutrino, and the transverse mass of the $e\nu$ system. A sample of $Z$ boson events is used for calibration and the analysis is blinded. Analysis methodology and status will be discussed.
