چکیده
We report the first observation of the associated production of a W boson and a Z boson. This result is based on 1.1 fb;-1 of integrated luminosity from pp collisions at sqrt[s]=1.96 TeV collected with the CDF II detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. We observe 16 WZ candidates passing our event selection with an expected background of 2.7+/-0.4 events. A fit to the missing transverse energy distribution indicates an excess of events compared to the background expectation corresponding to a significance equivalent to 6 standard deviations. The measured cross section is sigma(pp-->WZ)=5.0(-1.6)(+1.8) pb, consistent with the standard model expectation.

STUDY OF WZ PRODUCTION WITH THE DØ DETECTOR by KETINO KAADZE
In this Dissertation I present a detailed study of pp̄ → WZ production using fully leptonic decays of W and Z bosons with electrons and muons in the final state. Data used for the study were collected by the DØ detector at the Fermilab pp̄ collider with a centerof-mass energy of √ s = 1.96 TeV and correspond to 4.1 fb−1 of integrated luminosity. The most precise measurement of the WZ production c...
متن کاملStudy of the Wz Production at Cms
The study of multiple gauge boson production at the TeV scale constitutes a unique opportunity to test the Standard Model (SM) of electroweak interactions at the highest possible energies. The production of WZ events via s-channel allows to probe triple gauge-boson couplings in modelindependent manner at the energies never attained before and improve our understanding of the gauge theory. Any d...
متن کاملVector Boson Pair Production and Trilinear Gauge Boson Couplings - Results from the Tevatron
Direct measurements of vector boson pair production processes and trilinear gauge boson couplings have been conducted by the CDF and DØ Collaborations. Preliminary results from searches for anomalous WW/WZ → μν jet jet and WZ → eeeν production are presented. 95% CL anomalous coupling limits from previously published DØ results are −0.20 < λ < 0.20 (∆κ = 0) and −0.30 < ∆κ < 0.43 (λ = 0) for Λ = ...
متن کاملOn the WZ Factorization of the Real and Integer Matrices
The textit{QIF} (Quadrant Interlocking Factorization) method of Evans and Hatzopoulos solves linear equation systems using textit{WZ} factorization. The WZ factorization can be faster than the textit{LU} factorization because, it performs the simultaneous evaluation of two columns or two rows. Here, we present a method for computing the real and integer textit{WZ} and textit{ZW} factoriz...

We present recent diboson production measurements from the D0 experiment at Fermilab’s Tevatron collider. The production of ZZ was observed using leptonic final states. Zγ → ννγ was observed and used to set the most stringent limits from a hadron collider on anomalous Zγγ and ZZγ trilinear gauge couplings (TGCs). WW events with leptonic final states and WW +WZ events with semi-leptonic final st...
متن کاملWZ production at hadron colliders: Effects of nonstandard WWZ couplings and QCD corrections.
The process p p (−) → W±Z + X → `1 ν1`2 `2 + X is calculated to O(αs) for general C and P conserving WWZ couplings. At the Tevatron center of mass energy, the QCD corrections to WZ production are modest. At Large Hadron Collider (LHC) energies, the inclusive QCD corrections are large, but can be reduced significantly if a jet veto is imposed. Sensitivity limits for the anomalous WWZ couplings a...
