Abstract

Using a data sample of 57 pb^-1 recorded at a centre-of-mass energy of 183 GeV with the OPAL detector at LEP, 282 W⁺W^- → qq̄qq̄ and 300 W⁺W^- → qq̄lv̄_l candidate events are used to obtain a measurement of the mass of the W boson, M_w = 80.39 ± 0.13(stat.) ± 0.05(syst.) GeV, assuming the Standard Model relation between M_w and T_W. A second fit provides a direct measure of the width of the W boson and gives T_W = 1.96 ± 0.34(stat.) + 0.20(syst.) GeV. These results are combined with previous OPAL results to obtain M_w = 80.38 ± 0.12(stat.) + 0.05(syst.) GeV and T_w = 1.84 ± 0.32(stat.) ± 0.20(syst.) GeV.

N2 - Using a data sample of 57 pb-1 recorded at a centre-of-mass energy of 183 GeV with the OPAL detector at LEP, 282 W+W- → qq̄qq̄ and 300 W+W- → qq̄lv̄l candidate events are used to obtain a measurement of the mass of the W boson, Mw = 80.39 ± 0.13(stat.) ± 0.05(syst.) GeV, assuming the Standard Model relation between Mw and TW. A second fit provides a direct measure of the width of the W boson and gives TW = 1.96 ± 0.34(stat.) + 0.20(syst.) GeV. These results are combined with previous OPAL results to obtain Mw = 80.38 ± 0.12(stat.) + 0.05(syst.) GeV and Tw = 1.84 ± 0.32(stat.) ± 0.20(syst.) GeV.
