چکیده
We present the status of the forward-backward charge asymmetry measurement for W boson production using early Run 2 data collected with the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF). Tracking for forward electrons is a critical component of this measurement, and we describe a new technique which combines the position and energy measurements from the calorimeter with position measurements in the silicon detector to provide tracking and charge determination for electron candidates. The performance of this algorithm is described and the sensitivity for the W charge asymmetry measurement with Run 2 data is quantified.

متن کاملMeasurement ofW-boson polarization in top-quark decay using the full CDF Run II data set
We measure the polarization of W bosons from top-quark (t) decays into final states with a charged lepton and jets, tt ̄→W+bW−b ̄→��bqq ̄�b ̄, using the full Run II data set collected by the CDF II detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 8.7 fb−1. A model-independent method simultaneously determines the fraction of longitudinal (f0) and right-handed (f+) W bosons to yield f0=0.726±0....
متن کاملElectroweak Measurements at Tevatron
Recent Run 2 experimental results on electroweak physics from the CDF and DØ collaborations at Tevatron are reviewed. We present measurements of the inclusive W and Z boson cross-sections times leptonic branching ratio as well as the Z/γ forward-backward asymmetry and the W charge asymmetry for pp̄ collisions at √ s = 1.96 TeV . The first Run 2 studies for the W width and W mass measurements are...

We use the isotropy of the Cosmic Microwave Background to place stringent constraints on a possible electrical charge asymmetry of the universe. We find the excess charge per baryon to be qe−p < 10 e in the case of a uniform distribution of charge, where e is the charge of the electron. If the charge asymmetry is inhomogeneous, the constraints will depend on the spectral index, n, of the induce...
