Abstract
A measurement of the mass of the W boson, MW, is presented using 2.2 fb−1 of the data from pp collisions at √s = 1.96TeV collected with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. The mass is determined by fitting simulated signal and background distributions to 470126 W candidates decaying to eνe and 624708 decaying to μνμ. The result is MW = 80387±19MeV and is the most precise determination of the mass to date.
