title = "Measurement of the W+W- production cross section in p{\=p} collisions at s=1.96TeV using dilepton events",
abstract = "We present a measurement of the W+W- production cross section using 184pb-1 of p{\=p} collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV collected with the Collider Detector at Fermilab. Using the dilepton decay channel W+W-→ℓ+νℓ-{\=ν}, where the charged leptons can be either electrons or muons, we find 17 candidate events compared to an expected background of 5.0-0.8+2.2 events. The resulting W+W- production cross-section measurement of σ(p{\=p}→W+W-)=14.6-5.1+5.8(stat)-3.0+1.8(syst) ±0.9(lum)pb agrees well with the standard model expectation.",
