Observation of W /yields/ /mu//nu/ decays in proton-antiproton collisions at /radical/s = 1. 8 TeV
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5693689
The production and subsequent decay to muon and neutrino of the W intermediate vector boson has been observed in /bar p/p collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.8 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. Details of the CDF detector are given and event selection criteria are developed. A cross section times branching ratio, based on a sample of three W /yields/ /mu//nu/ candidate events extracted from 27.2 /plus minus/ 4.1 nb/sup /minus/1/ of data taken in the 1987 collider run, is calculated to be /sigma//sub W/ /times/ B/sub W /yields/ /mu//nu// = 0.59/sub /minus/0.32//sup +0.93/ (/plus minus/0.09) nb which is consistent with current theoretical predictions. 19 refs., 44 figs.
