W, Z Production Cross W, Z Production Cross SectionsSections

Motivation:

• Important tests of the SM

• Leptonic (e, ) decays ⇒ clean signal

• Important for detector and luminosity calibrations

Limiting factors:

• Luminosity: L/L ≈ 6%

• PDF’s: ≈ 1.5%

• Lepton identification efficiencies, statistics, …

Many of these cancel out in (W)/(Z) ratios!

W mass in the Standard W mass in the Standard ModelModel

• MW expressed in terms of MZ, mt, and electroweak coupling:

• Total uncertainty is dominated by the radiative correction term

r (≈0.067) which, in turn, is dominated by mt and MH. All

others have been measured with precisions of ~10-4 or better.

• Thus, measurements of mt and MW together constrain MH.

• Need a precision of 30 MeV on MW to match the current

precision of 4.3 GeV on mt.

W mass at the TevatronW mass at the Tevatron

• Charged lepton momenta are the most precisely measured.

• Only the transverse component of neutrino momenta can be

inferred after measuring the recoil system.

• Combine l± and transverse momenta to form W transverse

mass:

• Use leptonic Z decay events to model soft hadronic recoil

system.

SummarySummaryA successful electroweak physics program is shaping

up with the ongoing Run 2 of the Tevatron– W mass measurement is on course to an unprecedented

∽30 MeV precision (CDF ⊕ DØ, all channels combined).

– Most systematic uncertainties scale with (∫Ldt)-½. [⇐Run 1]

– Inclusive cross section measurements have reached high precision and are in good agreement with SM expectations.

– Competitive results on W width and lepton universality.

W<50 MeV should be possible with ∫Ldt ≈2fb-1 .

– W charge asymmetry measurements pressing PDFs.

– No significant departure from SM found so far, but we’ll stay alert …
