Abstract
We present a measurement of the production cross section observed in a final state consisting of an identified electron or muon, two jets, and missing transverse energy. The measurement is carried out in a data sample corresponding to up to 4.6~fb of integrated luminosity at TeV collected by the CDF II detector. Matrix element calculations are used to separate the diboson signal from the large backgrounds. The cross section is measured to be ~pb, in agreement with standard model predictions. A fit to the dijet invariant mass spectrum yields a compatible cross section measurement.
