Abstract

We present a new measurement of the W mass using the W→ eν data from the DØforward detectors at the Fermilab Tevatron p p Collider. This is the first measurement of the W mass with electron candidates in the range 1.5 < | η| < 2.5. We present measurements of the W mass using the transverse mass, the electron transverse momentum and the neutrino transverse momentum, and the combined result using all three techniques. The combination of the forward detector measurement with the previous measurements using the central detector gives a new precise measurement of the W mass from DØ.
