Measurement of the $W\to e\nu$ and $Z/{\gamma }^{\ast }\to e^{+}{e}^{-}$ Production Cross Sections at Mid-rapidity in Proton-Proton Collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 500 GeV

STAR Collaboration, G. Agakishiev, M. M. Aggarwal +346

We report measurements of the charge-separated $W^{+(-)}\to e^{+(-)}+{\nu }_e({\bar{\nu }}_e)$ and $Z/{\gamma }^{\ast }\to e^{+}{e}^{-}$ production cross sections at mid-rapidity in proton-proton collisions a…
