Abstract:

A search for a heavy charged gauge boson, W′, using the decay channels W′ → eν and W′ → τν → eννν is reported. The data used in the analysis were collected by the DØ experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron during the 1992-93 pp collider run from an integrated luminosity of 13.9 ± 0.8 pb-1 at s=1.8 TeV. Assuming that the neutrino from W′ decay is stable and has a mass significantly less than mW′, an upper limit at the 95% confidence level is set on the cross section times branching ratio for pp → W′ → eν. A W′ with the same couplings to quarks and leptons as the standard model W boson is excluded for mW′ < 610 GeV/c2. © 1995.

Abstract:

The distribution of the transverse energy in jets has been measured in pp collisions at s=1.8 TeV TeV using the DØ detector at Fermilab. This measurement of the jet shape is made as a function of jet transverse energy in both the central and forward rapidity regions. Jets are shown to narrow both with increasing transverse energy and with increasing rapidity. Next-to-leading order partonic QCD calculations are compared to the data. Although the calculations qualitatively describe the data, they are shown to be very dependent on renormalization scale, parton clustering algorithm, and jet direction definition and they fail to describe the data in all regions consistently. © 1995.

Abstract:

Charge asymmetry has been measured using 19 039 W decays recorded by the Collider Detector at Fermilab during the 1992-93 run of the Tevatron Collider. The asymmetry is sensitive to the ratio of d and u quark distributions to x<0.01 at Q2MW2, where nonperturbative effects are minimal. It is found that of the two current sets of parton distributions, those of Martin, Roberts, and Stirling are favored over the sets most recently produced by the CTEQ Collaboration. The W asymmetry data provide stronger constraints on du ratio than the recent measurements of F2μnF2μp which are limited by uncertainties originating from deuteron corrections. © 1995 The American Physical Society.
