A Decade of Science and Trillions of Collisions Show the W Boson Is More Massive Than Expected – A Physicist Explains What It Means - SciTechDaily

“You can do it quickly, you can do it cheaply, or you can do it right. We did it right.” These were some of David Toback opening remarks when the leader of Fermilab's Collider Detector unveiled the results of a decade-long experiment to measure the mass of a …

Measuring the mass of W bosons took 10 years and the result was not what physicists expected. You can do it quickly, you can do it cheaply, or you can do it right. We did it right. These were some o… [+8039 chars]
