Search for Z{prime} and W{prime} at CDF

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10183067
We have searched for heavy neutral and charged gauge bosons via the decays Z{prime} {yields} ee and W{prime} e{nu} in {bar p}p collisions at {radical}s = 1.8 TeV. The data were obtained using the CDF detector during 1992--1993 run corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 19.7{plus_minus}0.7 pb{sup {minus}1}. We present a 95% confidence level upper limit on the production cross section times branching ratio of Z{prime} and W{prime} as a function of Z{prime} and W{prime} mass. Assuming Standard Model coupling strengths, we exclude a Z{prime} with mass less than 505 GeV/c{sup 2} and a W{prime} with mass less than 652 GeV/c . We also present lower mass limits for Z{prime} bosons from E{sub 6} models and the Alternative Left-Right Model.
