Ransdell, J

A search for quark decays of the W and Z particles produced in proton-antiproton collisions at ..sqrt..s of 630 GeV in the UA1 experiment at the CERN collider is described. The search was made in the channels W..-->..cs-bar, Z..-->..cc-bar,bb-bar where b and c quarks were identified by the presence of a high-p/sub T/ muon in or near a jet. Although these decay channels avoid the copious background of QCD produced light quark and gluon jets, it was not possible to detect a W or Z signal because of the large cross section for strong cc-bar and bb-bar production.
