Title: Transverse momentum and total cross section of e{sup +} e{sup -} pairs in the Z-Boson region from p{ovr p} collisions at {radical}{ovr s} = 1.8 TeV.

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.

The transverse momentum and total cross section of e{sup +}e{sup -} pairs in the Z-boson region of 66<M{sub ee}<116 GeV/c{sup 2} from p{ovr p} collisions at sqrt[s] = 1.8 TeV are measured using 110 pb{sup -1} of collisions taken by the Collider Detector at Fermilab during 1992-1995. The total cross section is measured to be 248{+-}11 pb. The differential transverse momentum cross section is compared with calculations that match quantum chromodynamics perturbation theory at high transverse momentum with the gluon resummation formalism at low transverse momentum.
