We discuss W boson and lepton charge asymmetry measurements from W decays in the electron channel, which were made using 9.7 fb$^{-1}$ of RunII data collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider. The electron charge asymmetry is presented as a function of pseudo-rapidity out to |$eta$| $le$ 3.2, in five symmetric and asymmetric kinematic bins of electron transverse momentum and the missing transverse energy of the event. We also give the W charge asymmetry as a function of W boson rapidity. The asymmetries are compared with next-to-leading order perturbative quantum chromodynamics calculations. These charge asymmetry measurements will allow more accurate determinations of the proton parton distribution functions and are the most precise to date.

A surprisingly large charge symmetry violation of the sea quarks in the nucleon has been proposed in a recent article by Boros et al. as an explanation of the discrepancy between neutrino (CCFR) and muon (NMC) nucleon structure function data at low x
. We show that these models are ruled out by the published CDF W charge asymmetry measurements, which strongly constrain the ratio of d and u quark momentum distributions in the proton over the x range of 0.006 to 0.34. This constraint also limits the systematic error from possible charge symmetry violation in the determination of sin^2(theta) from nu-N scattering experiments.
Charge exchange reactions at high energies are examined. The existing cross section data on the Reggeon induced reaction pp $rightarrow$ n + $Delta^{++}$ taken at the ZGS and ISR accelerators are extrapolated to the energies of the RHIC and LHC colli
ders. The interest in the charge exchange reaction induced by $W^{pm}$-fusion is presented, and the corresponding QCD-background is examined.
The Standard Model of electroweak interactions has had great success in describing the observed data over the last three decades. The precision of experimental measurements affords tests of the Standard Model at the quantum loop level beyond leading
order. Despite this great success it is important to continue confronting experimental measurements with the Standard Model predictions as any deviation would signal new physics. As a fundamental parameter of the Standard Model, the mass of the W-boson, M_W, is of particular importance. Aside from being an important test of the SM itself, a precision measurement of M_W can be used to constrain the mass of the Higgs boson, M_H. In this article we review the principal experimental techniques for determining M_W and discuss their combination into a single precision M_W measurement, which is then used to yield constraints on M_H. We conclude by briefly discussing future prospects for precision measurements of the W-boson mass.
In the energy region of LEP2 and above, four fermion final states in e+e- collisions can be produced by Feynman diagrams involving two, one or zero resonant bosons...
At the Fermilab Tevatron proton-antiproton ($pbar{p}$) collider, high-mass electron-neutrino ($e u$) pairs are produced predominantly in the process $p bar{p} rightarrow W(rightarrow e u) + X$. The asymmetry of the electron and positron yield as a fu
nction of their pseudorapidity constrain the slope of the ratio of the $u$- to $d$-quark parton distributions versus the fraction of the proton momentum carried by the quarks. This paper reports on the measurement of the electron-charge asymmetry using the full data set recorded by the Collider Detector at Fermilab in 2001--2011 and corresponding to 9.1~fb$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity. The measurement significantly improves the precision of the Tevatron constraints on the parton-distribution functions of the proton. Numerical tables of the measurement are provided.
