Measurement of High-Q 2 Charged Current Cross Sections in e - p Deep Inelastic Scattering at HERA

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Cross sections for e- p charged current deep inelastic scattering have been measured at a centre-of-mass energy of 318 GeV with an integrated luminosity of 16.4 pb-1 using the ZEUS detector at HERA. Differential cross sections dσ/dQ2, dσ/dx and dσ/dy are presented for Q2 > 200 GeV2. In addition, d2σ/(dxdQ2) was measured in the kinematic range 280 GeV2 < Q2 < 30 000 GeV2 and 0.015 < × < 0.42. The predictions of the Standard Model agree well with the measured cross sections. The mass of the W boson, determined from a fit to dσ/dQ2, is MW = 80.3±2.1(stat.) ± 1.2(syst.) ± 1.0(PDF) GeV.
