Forward Muon Production in $$p\bar{p}$$ Collisions at $$\sqrt{s}$$ = 1.8-TeV
- Univ. of Wisconsin, Madison, WI (United States)
Results of the analysis of forward-produced (1.95 < $$\mid \eta \mid$$ < 2.80) muons from $$\bar{p}p$$ collisions at $$\sqrt{s}$$ = 1.8 Te V are presented. The data sample was collected during the 1987 run of the CDF detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 0.80 $$nb^{-1}$$. The inclusive forward muon PT spectrum is measured and compared to backgrounds. Several muon+jet events, consistent with the weak decay of the bottom quark, were found. In addition, from a luger data sample of 24.2 $$nb^{-1}$$, a candidate event for the first observation at $$\sqrt{s}$$ = 1.8 TeV of the process $$Z^O \to \mu^+ \mu^-$$ was discovered, where $Z^O$ is the uncharged mediator of the weak interaction.
