Measurement of $d\sigma/dy$ for $Z/\gamma^{*}$ decaying to $e^{+}e^{-}$ using the D\O\ detector

ORAL

Abstract

We present a preliminary result of the first Run II measurement of Z/$\gamma^{*}$ decaying to $e^{+}e^{-}$ inclusive differential cross section as a function of boson rapidity. The data, which correspond to an integrated luminosity of 0.3 $fb^{-1}$, were collected with the D\O\ detector at the Tevatron $p\bar{p}$ collider. At the Run II energy of $\sqrt{s}$= 1.96 TeV, Z bosons are produced with rapidities out to $\pm$ 3. The cross section is measured in a mass range between 71 to 111 GeV for the allowed kinematic range.
