The Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) was used to measure the transverse momentum distribution of W boson produced in proton-antiproton collisions at the Tevatron collider. The W bosons were identified by the decay W 2!e[nu]. The results are in good agreement with a next-to-leading order calculation. The cross section for W production with P{sub T}> 50 GeV/c is 423 {plus minus} 58 (stat.) {plus minus} 108 (sys.) pb. 58 refs., 53 figs., 16 tabs.

This dissertation describes a measurement of the shape of the boson transverse momentum distribution in p{bar p} 2!Z/[gamma]* 2!ee− + X events at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV. The measurement is made for events with electron-positron mass between 70
