Measurement of the Charge Asymmetry of Muons from $$W$$ Boson Decay at the D0 Detector
- Univ. of Arizona, Tucson, AZ (United States)
We have measured the charge asymmetry of muons produced in W boson decay as a function of muon pseudorapidity. The W bosons were produced in $$p\bar{p}$$ collisions at $$\sqrt{s}$$= 1.8 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron and recorded by the D0 detector during the run period 1992-1993 ( run lA ) and 1994-1995 ( run IB ). The combined data for both periods consists of 8831 $$W \to \mu\nu$$decays with $$\mid \eta_{\mu}\mid$$ <1.0 selected from events corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 61.9 $$pb^{-1}$$ and 664 decays with 1.0 $$\le \mid \eta_{\mu} \mid$$ < 1.6 corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 44.5 $$pb^{-1}$$.
