The CDF collaboration at Fermilab announces the most precise ever measurement of the #Wboson mass to be in tension with the Standard Model:
news.fnal.gov/2022/04/cdf-co…
The #Wboson is a messenger particle of the weak force. It is responsible for the nuclear processes that make the sun shine and particles decay. CDF scientists have now determined the W boson’s mass with a precision of 0.01%—twice as precise as the previous best measurement.
CDF researchers have worked on achieving increasingly more precise measurements of the #Wboson mass for more than 20 years. The new result uses the entire dataset collected from the Tevatron collider at Fermilab.
