A measurement of the mass of the W boson is presented which is based on a sample of 5982 →Weν decays observed in pp̄ collisions at √s=1.8 TeV with the D{∅} detector during the 1992--1993 run. From a fit to the transverse mass spectrum, combined with measurements of the Z boson mass, the W boson mass is measured to be MW=80.350±0.140(stat)±0.165(syst)±0.160(scale) GeV/c². Detailed discussions of the determination of the absolute energy scale, the measured efficiencies, and all systematic uncertainties are presented.
