Measurement of W and Z boson production cross sections in [formula presented] collisions at [formula presented] TeV
DØhas measured the inclusive production cross section of W and Z bosons in a sample of 13 (Formula presented) of data collected at the Fermilab Tevatron. The cross sections, multiplied by their leptonic branching fractions, for production in (Formula presented) collisions at (Formula presented) TeV are (Formula presented) (Formula presented) (Formula presented), and (Formula presented), where the first uncertainty is statistical and the second systematic; the third reflects the uncertainty in the integrated luminosity. For the combined electron and muon analyses, we find (Formula presented). Assuming standard model couplings, we use this result to determine the width of the W boson, and obtain (Formula presented). © 1999 The American Physical Society.
