Measurement of high-Q2 charged current cross sections in e-p deep inelastic scattering at HERA

preprint2002arXivOpen access

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 < 30000 GeV2 and 0.015 < x < 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 \pm 2.1 (stat.) \pm 1.2 (syst.) \pm 1.0 (PDF) GeV.
