Study of Charged Intermediate Vector Boson Production in Proton-Antiproton Collisions at $$\sqrt{s} = 1.8$$ TeV
- Univ. of Tsukuba (Japan)
study of Charged Intermediate Vector bosons (W's) observed in the Fermilab proton-antiproton collision experiment at $$\sqrt{s}$$ = 1.8 TeV is described. The Collider Detector at Ferrnilab (CDF) is the first general purpose detector built to study the world highest energy region in proton-antiproton collisions. The first physics run was carried out from January 1987 to May 1987. Event analysis is based on charged particle tracking, magnetic momentum analysis and fine-grained calorimetry. Charged particle momenta are analyzed in a 1.5 Tesla solenoidal magnetic field, generated by a superconducting coil, 3 m in diameter and 5 m in length. The calorimetry, which has a polar angle coverage from 2° to 178° and full azimuthal coverage, consists of electromagnetic shower counters and hadron calorimeters; and is segmented into about 5,000 projective "towers" or solid angle elements. A custom front-end electronics system followed by a large Fastbus network provides the readout of the approximately 100,000 detector channels.
