Physics Letters B, 2010•ElsevierWe report on a CDF measurement of the total cross section and rapidity distribution, dσ/dy,
for γ∗/Z→ e+ e− events in the Z boson mass region (66< Mee< 116 GeV/c2) produced in
pp¯ collisions at s= 1.96 TeV with 2.1 fb− 1 of integrated luminosity. The measured cross
section of 257±16 pb and dσ/dy distribution are compared with Next-to-Leading-Order (NLO)
and Next-to-Next-to-Leading-Order (NNLO) QCD theory predictions with CTEQ and
MRST/MSTW parton distribution functions (PDFs). There is good agreement between the …

There is good agreement between the experimental total cross section and dσ/dy measurements with theoretical calculations with the most recent NNLO PDFs.
