An analysis of W- and Z-boson production using data from the Collider Detector at Fermilab at √s =1.8 TeV yields σ(W→ev)/σ(Z→ee)=10.2±0.8(stat)±0.4(syst). The width of the W boson, Γ(W), and a limit on the top-quark mass independent of decay mode are extracted from this measurement.

We have determined mW=79.91±0.39 GeV/c2 from an analysis of W→eν and W→μν data from the Collider Detector at Fermilab in p¯p collisions at a c.m. energy of √s =1.8 TeV. This result, together with the world-average Z mass, determines the weak mixing angle to be sin2θW=0.232±0.008. Bounds on the top-quark mass are discussed.

Using the Collider Detector at Fermilab, the W-boson differential cross section dσ/dPT is measured using W→eν events in proton-antiproton collisions at √s =1.8 TeV. A next-to-leading-order theoretical calculation agrees well with the data. The cross section (σ) for PT>50 GeV/c is measured to be 423±58(stat)±108(syst) pb.

We have measured the Z-boson production differential cross section as a function of transverse momentum using Z→ee and Z→μμ decays in p¯p collision at √s =1.8 TeV with the Collider Detector at Fermilab. Comparison with standard-model predictions shows good agreement over the range 0<pT<160 GeV/c available from this data sample.

Errors are systematic and statistical combined, and are correlated bin to bin due to the correction for resolution smearing.

We present a measurement of the inclusive jet cross section in p¯p collisions at √s =1.8 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron using the Collider Detector at Fermilab. Good agreement is seen with the predictions of recent next-to-leading-order [O(αs3)] QCD predictions. The dependence of the cross section on clustering cone size is reported for the first time. An improved limit on Λc, a term characterizing possible quark substructure, is set at 1.4 TeV (95% C.L.).

This letter reports the full reconstruction of B mesons through the decay chain B±→J/ψ K±, J/ψ→μ+μ−, using data obtained at the Collider Detector at Fermilab in p¯p collisions at √s =1.8 TeV. This exclusive sample, the first observed at a hadron collider, is then used to measure the B-meson cross section, from which we extract the b-quark cross section. We obtain σ=2.8±0.9 (stat) ±1.1(syst) μb for B− mesons with PT>9.0 GeV/c and rapidity ‖y‖<1.0. We obtain σ=6.1±1.9(stat) ±2.4(syst) μb, for b quarks with transverse momentum PT>11.5 GeV/c and rapidity ‖y‖<1.0.

An analysis of proton-antiproton collisions at √s =1.8 TeV recorded with the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) yields σ(pp¯→WX)B(W→μν)=2.21±0.22 nb and σ(pp¯→ZX)B(Z →μ+μ−)=0.226±0.032 nb. The ratio is Rμ=σWB(W→μν)/σZB(Z→μ+μ−)=9.8±1.2. Combining with previous CDF electron results gives σWB(W→lν)=2.20±0.20 nb, σZB(Z→l+l−)=0.214±0.023 nb, and Rl=10.0±0.8. We extract the ratios of the coupling constants gμ/ge and gτ/gμ. Using standard model assumptions we deduce the inverse branching ratio B−1(W→lν), the width Γ(W), and a decay-mode-independent lower bound on the top quark mass of 45 GeV/c2 (95% C.L.).
