Abstract

Based on 85 pb-1 data of pp̅ collisions at √s=1.8TeV collected using the DØ detector at Fermilab during the 1994–1995 run of the Tevatron, we present a direct measurement of the total decay width of the W boson ΓW. The width is determined from the transverse mass spectrum in the W→e+νe decay channel and found to be ΓW=2.23-0.14+0.15(stat)±0.10(syst)GeV, consistent with the expectation from the standard model.
