Single W and Z boson production properties and asymmetries

Abstract

Recent analyses of single $W$ and $Z$ boson production properties and asymmetries from the CDF and DØ experiments at the Fermilab Tevatron are reported. For $W$ boson production, measurements of the production and lepton charge asymmetries are presented. For $Z/{\gamma }^{\ast }$ production, the following measurements are presented: $d\sigma /dy$, $(1/\sigma )(d\sigma /d{p}_T)$, $(1/σ) (dσ/d\phistar)$, lepton angular coefficients, and $A_{FB}$ with extraction of ${\sin }^2{\theta }_W$ and the light quark couplings to the $Z$. Most of these measurements are in good agreement with QCD predictions.
