Correlating the CDF W-boson mass shift with the b → sℓ+ℓ− anomalies

Precise measurement of the W-boson mass with the CDF II detector.

We have measured the W-boson mass M(W) using data corresponding to 2.2  fb(-1) of integrated luminosity collected in pp collisions at sqrt[s] = 1.96  TeV with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. Samples consisting of 470,126 W → eν candidates and 624,708 W → μν candidates yield the measurement M(W) = 80,387 ± 12(stat.) ± 15(syst.) = 80,387 ± 19  MeV/c2. This is the most preci...

First Run Ii Measurement of the W Boson Mass with Cdf

Combination of CDF and D 0 Results for the Mass of the W Boson

We summarize and combine the results on the direct measurements of the mass of the W boson in data collected by the Tevatron experiments CDF and D0 at Fermilab. Results from CDF Run-0 (1988-1889) and Run-I (1992-1995) have been combined with D0 results from Run-I, the CDF 200 pb −1 published results from the first period of Run-II (2001-2004) and the recent 1 fb −1 result in the electron channe...

Observation of Diffractive W - Boson Production at the Tevatron CDF

We report the first observation of diffractively produced W bosons. In a sample of W → eν events produced in p¯ p collisions at √ s=1.8 TeV, we find an excess of events with a forward rapidity gap, which is attributed to diffraction. The probability that this excess is consistent with non-diffractive production is 1.1 × 10 −4 (3.8σ). The relatively low fraction of W + Jet events observed within...
