This paper describes a direct measurement of the W boson total decay width ΓW using the DØ detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The measurement uses an integrated luminosity of 177.3 pb-1, collected during the 2002-2003 run. The width is determined by normalizing the predicted signal and background transverse mass distributions to 75,285 W → eν candidates in the transverse mass region 50 < MT < 100 GeV and then fitting the predicted shape to the 625 candidates in the tail region 100 < MT < 200 GeV . The W width is determined to be ΓW = 2.011 ± 0.093 ( stat ) ± 0.107 ( syst ) GeV .

Within the framework of the Standard Model, the radiative decay channel of the Higgs boson into fermion-antifermion pair is investigated: H Þ` ff γ. Taking into account the fermion and W -boson loop diagrams an analytical expression for the decay width is obtained, the circular polarization of the γ-quanta is studied in dependence of the angle θ and invariant mass of the fermion pair.

The experimental knowledge of the charged intermediate vector boson, the W, is reviewed. Measurements of the electroweak properties of the W boson, such as its mass, decay width, couplings to fermions, and leptonic branching ratios, are summarized. As well, I review production properties of the W as measured in [Formula: see text] collisions and how they can be used as tests of perturbative QCD. I also discuss new particle searches that make use of the W signature, such as new charged electroweak bosons and the now-confirmed discovery of the top quark.

We report measurements of inclusive cross sections times branching ratios in electrons, muons or taus for W and Z bosons produced in [Formula: see text] collisions at 1.96 TeV using data collected with the DØ and CDF detectors in 2002-2004. Using the ratio of the cross sections times branching ratios for the W and Z bosons we also obtain constraints on the total decay width of the W boson.

We show that the mass matrix of electrically neutral gauge bosons in the recent proposed  model based on \(\mathrm{SU}(3)_C\otimes \mathrm{SU}(3)_L\otimes \mathrm{U}(1)_X\) group with three neutrino singlets [9] has two exact eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors. Hence the neutral non-Hermitian gauge boson \(X^0_\mu\) is properly determined.With extra vacuum expectation values of the Higgs fields, there are mixings among charged gauge bosons \(W^\pm\) and \(Y^\pm\) as well as amongneutral gauge bosons \(Z, Z'\) and \(X^0\). From the $W$ boson decay width, we get lower bound on  scale of the model about few TeVs.
