Measurement of $Wγ$ and $Zγ$ Production in $p\bar{p}$ Collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 1.96 TeV

Abstract

The Standard Model predictions for $Wγ$ and $Zγ$ production are tested using an integrated luminosity of 200 pb$^{-1}$ of \ppbar collision data collected at the Collider Detector at Fermilab. The cross sections are measured selecting leptonic decays of the $W$ and $Z$ bosons, and photons with transverse energy $E_T>7$ GeV that are well separated from leptons. The production cross sections and kinematic distributions for the $Wγ$ and $Zγ$ are compared to SM predictions.
