Measurement of dσ/dy for High Mass Drell-Yan e+e- Pairs from p(ovr p) collisions at √ s = 1.8 TeV

Description

We report on the first measurement of the rapidity distribution dσ/dy over nearly the entire kinematic region of rapidity for e+e- pairs in both the Z-boson region of 66116 GeV/c2. The data sample consists of 108 pb-1 of p(ovr p) collisions at s=1.8 TeV taken by the Collider Detector at Fermilab during 1992-1995. The total cross section in the Z-boson region is measured to be 252+/-11 pb. The measured total cross section and dσ/dy are compared with quantum chromodynamics calculations in leading and higher orders.
