Search for W and Z0 at the CERN p anti p collider
Description
Two searches made at the CERN Proton-Antiproton Collider: one for high-mass μ+μ- and e+e- pairs, the other for isolated large-transverse-energy electrons are reported. Six high-mass lepton-antilepton pairs and 52 electron-neutrino pairs have been observed with negligible background. The characteristics of those events fit well the hypothesis that they are produced by the processes p anti p yields Z0X, with Z0 yields e+e- or μ+μ-, and p anti p yields W+-X, with W+- yields e+-nu. Here W+- and Z0 are the Intermediate Vector Bosons postulated by the unified theory of weak and electromagnetic interactions
