Differential cross section for w boson production as a function of transverse momentum in p(p)over-bar collisions at root s=1.8 TeV

We report a measurement of the differential cross section for W boson production as a function of its transverse momentum in proton-antiproton collisions at roots = 1.8 TeV The data were collected by the DO experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider during 1994-1995 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 85 pb(-1). The results are in good agreement with quantum chromodynamics over the entire range of transverse momentum. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V All rights reserved.
