T. Affolder et al., Measurement of d sigma/dM and forward-backward charge asymmetry for high-mass Drell-Yan e(+)e(-) pairs from p(p)over-bar collisions at root s=1.8 TeV- art. no. 131802, PHYS REV L, 8713(13), 2001, pp. 1802
We report on a measurement of the mass dependence of the forward-backward c
harge asymmetry, A(FB), and production cross section d sigma /dM for e(+)e(
-) pairs with mass M-ee > 40 GeV/c(2). The data sample consists of 108 pb(-
1) of p (p) over bar collisions at roots = 1.8 TeV taken by the Collider De
tector at Fermilab during 1992-1995. The measured asymmetry and d sigma /dM
are compared with the predictions of the standard model and a model with a
n extra Z' gauge boson.
