We present the latest results on the production of WW, WZ, Wgamma, Zgamma and ZZ events at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The results are based on the analyses of 0.2 -- 2 /fb of data collected in p pbar collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV by CDF and DO experiments during the Tevatron Run II. Analyses of the diboson production processes provide crucial test of the Standard Model, directly probing its predictions on the Trilinear Gauge Couplings.
Measurements of diboson events in proton-antiproton collisions at $sqrt{s}=1.96$ TeV are effective probes of the electro-weak gauge structure in the Standard Model (SM). Due to the potentially high energy scale in the collisions, bosonic operators beyond the leading order in the Lagrangian become important at the Tevatron and make the theoretical interpretations non trivial. The fact that we need cut-offs in our models in order to maintain unitarity underline the importance of direct measurements at the highest possible energy scales. I report on two new such measurement from CDF and compare to similar D0 results taken at lower integrated luminosities.
A general review of the latest results about single and double vector boson production in the multipurpose experiments at LHC (ATLAS and CMS) and at Tevatron (CDF and D0) will be presented. The review will focus on boson production, while a more detailed report about W and Z properties can be found elsewhere. Only leptonic decays into electrons and muons will be considered.
A long time ago, at a laboratory far, far away, the Fermilab Tevatron collided protons and antiprotons at $sqrt{s} = 1.96$ TeV. The CDF and D0 experiments each recorded datasets of about 10 fb$^{-1}$. As such experiments may never be repeated, these are unique datasets that allow for unique measurements. This presentation describes recent results from the two experiments on top-quark production rates, spin orientations, and production asymmetries, which are all probes of the $pbar{p}$ initial state.
We present results from CDF and DO on $Wgamma$ and $Zgamma$ productions in $pbar{p}$ collisions at $sqrt{s}=1.8~{rm TeV}.$ The goal of the analyses is to test the non-abelian self-couplings of the $W$, $Z$ and photon, one of the most direct consequences of the $SU(2)_Lotimes U(1)_Y$ gauge symmetry. We present direct measurements of $WWgamma$ couplings and limits on $ZZgamma$ and $Zgammagamma$ couplings, based on $pbar{p}rightarrow ell ugamma + X$ and $pbar{p}rightarrow ellellgamma+X$ events, respectively, observed during the 1992--1993 run of the Fermilab Tevatron Collider.
This paper reports on the first observation of electroweak production of single top quarks by the DZero and CDF collaborations. At Fermilabs 1.96 TeV proton-antiproton collider, a few thousand events are selected from several inverse femtobarns of data that contain an isolated electron or muon and/or missing transverse energy, together with jets that originate from the decays of b quarks. Using sophisticated multivariate analyses to separate signal from background, the DZero collaboration measures a cross section sigma(ppbar->tb+X,tqb+X) = 3.94 +- 0.88 pb (for a top quark mass of 170 GeV) and the CDF collaboration measures a value of 2.3_0.6 -0.5 pb (for a top quark mass of 175 GeV). These values are consistent with theoretical predictions at next-to-leading order precision. Both measurements have a significance of 5.0 standard deviations, meeting the benchmark to be considered unambiguous observation.
