Measurement ofW ± andZ 0 properties at the CERN\(\bar pp\) p collider

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and Fields

Abstract

A study ofW ± andZ 0 properties has been performed using the UA2 detector at the\(\bar pp\) collider. The data correspond to a total integrated luminosity of 142 nb−1 at\(\sqrt s \)=546 GeV, and of 310 nb−1 at\(\sqrt s \)=630 GeV. The experimental results are compared with the predictions of the Standard Model of the unified electroweak theory.

  25. A candidate for the processW→eγν was observed in the 1983 data (see [1]). It contained a collineare-γ pair in the forward region of the detector. Since the mass of the pair is quite small, the observation is not relevant to this discussion ——
