First Evidence of WW/WZ -> lnuqq at the Tevatron

High Energy Physics - Experiment 2019-08-14 v1

Abstract

We present the first evidence from a hadron collider of WW+WZ production with semi-leptonic decays. The data were recorded by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron and correspond to 1.07 inverse femtobarn of integrated luminosity obtained in proton-antiproton collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.96 TeV. The cross section observed for WW+WZ production is 20.2 +- 4.5 pb with a significance of 4.4 standard deviations.
