We give a detailed description of the measurement of the W boson mass, MW , performed on an integrated luminosity of 4.3 fb −1 , which is based on similar techniques as used for our previous measurement done on an independent data set of 1 fb −1 of data. The data were collected using the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. This data set yields 1.68 × 10 6 W → eν candidate events. We measure the mass using the transverse mass, electron transverse momentum, and missing transverse energy distributions. The MW measurements using the transverse mass and the electron transverse momentum distributions are the most precise of these three and are combined to give MW = 80.367 ± 0.013 (stat) ± 0.022 (syst) GeV = 80.367 ± 0.026 GeV. When combined with our earlier measurement on 1 fb −1 of data, we obtain MW = 80.375 ± 0.023 GeV.

We summarize and combine direct measurements of the mass of the W boson in √ s = 1.96 TeV proton-antiproton collision data collected by CDF and D0 experiments at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. Earlier measurements from CDF and D0 are combined with the two latest, more precise measurements: a CDF measurement in the electron and muon channels using data corresponding to 2.2 fb −1 of integrated luminosity, and a D0 measurement in the electron channel using data corresponding to 4.3 fb −1 of integrated luminosity. The resulting Tevatron average for the mass of the W boson is MW = 80 387 ± 16 MeV. Including measurements obtained in electron-positron collisions at LEP yields the most precise value of MW = 80 385 ± 15 MeV.

We combine searches by the CDF and D0 Collaborations for the associated production of a Higgs boson with a W or Z boson and subsequent decay of the Higgs boson to a bottom-antibottom quark pair. The data, originating from Fermilab Tevatron pp collisions at √ s = 1.96 TeV, correspond to integrated luminosities of up to 9.7 fb −1 . The searches are conducted for a Higgs boson with mass in the range 100-150 GeV/c 2 . We observe an excess of events in the data compared with the background predictions, which is most significant in the mass range between 120 and 135 GeV/c 2 . The largest local significance is 3.3 standard deviations, corresponding to a global significance of 3.1 standard deviations. We interpret this as evidence for the presence of a new particle consistent with the standard model Higgs boson, which is produced in association with a weak vector boson and decays to a bottom-antibottom quark pair.

The self-powered and ultra-broadband photodetectors based on photothermoelectric (PTE) effect are promising for diverse applications such as sensing, environmental monitoring, night vision and astronomy. The sensitivity of PTE photodetectors is determined by the Seebeck coefficient and the rising temperature under illumination. Previous PTE photodetectors mostly rely on traditional thermoelectric materials with Seebeck coefficients in the range of 100 μV K−1, and array structures with multiple units are usually employed to enhance the photodetection performance. Herein, we demonstrate a reduced SrTiO3 (r-STO) based PTE photodetector with sensitivity up to 1.2 V W−1 and broadband spectral response from 325 nm to 10.67 μm. The high performance of r-STO PTE photodetector is attributed to its intrinsic high Seebeck coefficient and phonon-enhanced photoresponse in the long wavelength infrared region. Our results open up a new avenue towards searching for novel PTE materials beyond traditional thermoelectric materials for low-cost and high-performance photodetector at room temperature.
