Abstract

The [ital W]+jet angular distribution is measured using [ital W][minus][gt][ital e][nu] events recorded with the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) during 1988--89 and 1992--93 Tevatron runs. The data agree well with both a leading order and a next-to-leading order theoretical prediction. The shape of the angular distribution is similar to that observed in photon+jet data, and significantly different from that observed in dijet data.
