description

Based on 85 pb-1 data of p (p) over bar collisions at roots=1.8 TeV collected using the D empty set 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 Gamma(W). The width is determined from the transverse mass spectrum in the W-->e+nu(e) decay channel and found to be Gamma(W)=2.23(-0.14)(+0.15)(stat)+/-0.10(syst) GeV, consistent with the expectation from the standard model.
