Abstract
An analysis of high-transverse-momentum electrons using data from the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) of collisions at GeV yields values of the production cross section times branching ratio for and bosons of nb and nb. Detailed descriptions of the CDF electron identification, background, efficiency, and acceptance are included. Theoretical predictions of the cross sections that include a mass for the top quark larger than the mass, current values of the and masses, and higher-order QCD corrections are in good agreement with these measured values.
