Download or read book Measurement of the W Boson and Top Quark Masses at CDF. written by Anyes Taffard and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We report on the measurements of the W boson and top-quark masses with the CDF II detector in p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.96 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron. We highlight the major features and uncertainties for the W mass measurement. The top-quark mass measurements are presented in each t{bar t} decay channels. The combination of the most precise measurements from CDF to date leads to M{sub top} = 172.4 {+-} 1.5(stat.) {+-} 2.2(sys.) GeV/c{sup 2}, corresponding to a relative uncertainty of 1.5%.
