Book excerpt: The cross section for the production and subsequent decay of the W Intermediate Vector boson to electron and neutrino has been measured in .sqrt.s = 1.8 TeV /bar p/p collisions using the CDF Collider Detector at Fermilab. For this measurement, W events were identified from the large missing transverse energy associated with the unseen neutrino and an electromagnetic cluster passing rather loose electron criteria. 22 events passing the selection missing transverse energy greater than 25 GeV and electron transverse energy greater than 15 GeV were observed in a sample of 25nb/sup /minus/1/ yielding a sigma /center dot/ B = 2.6 ± 0.6 ± 0.5nb. This report agrees well with a parallel analysis based primarily on the identification of isolated electron and is in excellent agreement with theoretical predictions. 12 refs., 7 figs.
