چکیده
We report two complementary measurements of the WW + WZ cross section in the final state consisting of an electron or muon, missing transverse energy, and jets, performed using pp collision data at square root of s = 1.96 TeV collected by the CDF II detector. The first method uses the dijet invariant mass distribution while the second more sensitive method uses matrix-element calculations. The result from the second method has a signal significance of 5.4sigma and is the first observation of WW + WZ production using this signature. Combining the results gives sigma(WW + WZ) = 16.0 +/- 3.3 pb, in agreement with the standard model prediction.

Diboson Production and Couplings
s = 1.96 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron in final states with two or three leptons, respectively, along with limits on WWZ triple gauge couplings. We also present the combined search for WW and WZ production in the lepton, neutrino, and dijet final state. Finally, we present ZZ cross section measurements in both the fully leptonic and the two lepton, two neutrino final states along with limits on ...

We report a measurement of single top quark production in lepton plus jets final state using 7.5 fb−1 of pp̄ collision data collected by CDF Run II experiment. We select events in the W + jets topology consistent with the signature of a charged lepton (electron or muon), large missing transverse energy ( 6 ET ) from the W boson decay and two or three jets, at least one of them is required to be ...

We present recent results on top quark pair production cross section in several final states as well as a spin correlations measurement and two W-helicity measurements from the CDF detector at the Tevatron pp̄ collider operating at √ s = 1.96 TeV. The most precise single tt̄ cross section measurement, in the lepton+jets final state, using a Neural Network kinematic fit, yields a value of 6.8 ± 0....
