Abstract

Cross sections for e(-)p charged current deep inelastic scattering have been measured at a centre-of-mass energy of 318 GeV with an integrated luminosity of 16.4 pb(-1) using the ZEUS detector at HERA. Differential cross sections dsigma/dQ(2), dsigma/dx and dsigma/dy are presented for Q(2) gt 200 GeV2. In addition, d(2)sigma/(dxdQ(2)) was measured in the kinematic range 280 GeV2 lt Q(2) lt 30000 GeV2 and 0.015 lt x lt 0.42. The predictions of the Standard Model agree well with the measured cross sections. The mass of the W boson, determined from a fit to dsigma/dQ(2), is M-W = 80.3 +/- 2.1 (stat.) +/- 1.2(syst.) +/- 1.0(PDF) GeV.
