Electroweak cross-sections and widths

Robson, A. (2008) Electroweak cross-sections and widths. In: 34th International Conference on High Energy Physics, Pennsylvania, 29 July - 5 August,

Abstract

The status of W and Z cross-section and width measurements from the CDF and D0 experiments is reviewed. Recent results that are discussed: the cross-section for Z production times the branching ratio to tau pairs, the rapidity and transverse momentum distributions of Z production in the electron channel, and the direct measurements of the W width and the Z invisible width; the latter from an analysis of events with large missing transverse energy and one or more energetic jets.
