Title: The Lepton Charge Asymmetry from $$W^\pm \to \mu^\pm\nu$$ Using Forward Muons at the Collider Detector at Fermilab

Abstract

This thesis is the first observations of forward-backward muon events from W± → μ±v decays in p$$\bar{p}$$ collisions at √s = 1.8 TeV. These events were collected by the Collider Detector at Fermilab during the 1988-89 run and were used to measure the lepton charge asymmetry. An asymmetry of -.06±.27±.01 was measured where the .27 was the statistical uncertainty and the .01.
