Abstract

A measurement of the mass of the [Formula Presented] boson is presented which is based on a sample of 5982 [Formula Presented] decays observed in [Formula Presented] collisions at [Formula Presented] TeV with the D detector during the 1992–1993 run. From a fit to the transverse mass spectrum, combined with measurements of the [Formula Presented] boson mass, the [Formula Presented] boson mass is measured to be [Formula Presented] Detailed discussions of the determination of the absolute energy scale, the measured efficiencies, and all systematic uncertainties are presented.
