Abstract
We report the first measurements of inclusive W and Z cross sections times leptonic branching ratios for p (p) over bar collisions at root s=1.96 TeV, based on their decays to electrons and muons. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 72 pb(-1) recorded with the CDF detector at the Fermilab Tevatron. We test e-mu universality in W decays, and we measure the ratio of leptonic W and Z rates from which the leptonic branching fraction B(W -> l nu) can be extracted as well as an indirect value for the total width of the W and the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix element, vertical bar V(cs)vertical bar.File in questo prodotto:
