Abstract

The transverse momentum and total cross section of e(+)e(-) pairs in the Z-boson region of 66<M(ee)<116 GeV/c(2) from p&pmacr; collisions at sqrt[s] = 1.8 TeV are measured using 110 pb(-1) of collisions taken by the Collider Detector at Fermilab during 1992-1995. The total cross section is measured to be 248+/-11 pb. The differential transverse momentum cross section is compared with calculations that match quantum chromodynamics perturbation theory at high transverse momentum with the gluon resummation formalism at low transverse momentum.
