Hauser, J

We look in the CDF data from our 1988--1989 at {radical}s=1.8 TeV for those aspects of W/Z and lepton pair (Drell-Yan) production at the Tevatron which appear most sensitive to parton distribution functions, namely, the W{sup +} and W{sup {minus}} rapidity distributions and the low mass region of Drell-Yan production. The W rapidity distributions are sampled through the lepton asymmetries in the e{nu} and {mu}{nu} decay channels. The analysis on low-mass Drell-Yan production is just beginning and future prospects are briefly discussed. 8 refs., 5 figs., 1 tab.
