The W boson is bigger than we thought — a physicist explains

“You can do it quickly, you can do it cheaply, or you can do it right. We did it right.” These were some of the opening remarks from David Toback, leader of the Collider Detector at Fermilab, as he announced the results of a decadelong experiment to measure the mass of a particle called the W boson. I am a high energy particle physicist, and I am part of the team of hundreds of scientists that built and ran the Collider Detector at Fermilab in Illinois – known as CDF. After trillions of collisions and years of data collection and…This story continues at The Next Web https://thenextweb.com/news/w-boson-is-bigger-than-we-thought-a-physicist-explains
